Outpatient Rehabilitation

We offer a range of outpatient rehabilitation services to help patients recover and regain independence after an illness or surgery. These outpatient therapy programs, which patients visit the facility to receive, typically include physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The goal is to provide the necessary treatment and support to enable individuals to rehabilitate and function independently, without requiring an overnight stay.

  • Improve overall strength conditioning, range of motion and endurance
