Our Swing Bed Rehabilitation Team celebrated their 50th patient today!

Congratulations to Calvin and our entire team on this milestone. Staff planned a party to mark the occasion!

Calvin explained that he chose the Harrison County Hospital Swing Bed Rehabilitation program for the convenience of the surgeon, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and any additional testing that may be needed. Calvin’s goal in joining the Swing Bed program was to be able to walk without pain. Calvin said they live in an older home, and it was important for him to learn how to navigate it.

Calvin described his overall experience as a Swing Bed patient as fantastic! “Everyone was so wonderful,” he said. “If they could see I was worrying about something, they would talk with me.” Calvin continued, “I would like to say to all the staff, you were great and went above and beyond.”

What is a Swing Bed program?

The Harrison County Hospital Swing Bed Rehabilitation Program provides care to patients who require extended recovery time after their hospital stay. Patients can receive continued care closer to home. The Swing Bed program allows for a tailored recovery plan, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, respiratory therapy, pharmaceutical therapy, nutrition services, and care provided by nurses and physicians. Harrison County Hospital Swing Bed Rehabilitation Program promotes improved recovery options, access to care, and supports a safe transition to home to prevent readmission to the hospital.

We are excited to welcome a new therapist to the Harrison County Hospital Rehabilitation & Therapy Services, Caroline Elliott, PT, DPT.

Caroline is originally from Jeffersonville, IN. She attended undergraduate studies at Indiana State University, where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and a minor in Massage Therapy. She returned to the area to complete her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Bellarmine University.

Through their program, Caroline was able to complete a cadaveric research study with three classmates exploring anatomical variations with the brachial plexus and how they could contribute to patients with thoracic outlet syndrome. She also had the opportunity to travel to Belize last January to collaborate with physical therapists in their country to exchange knowledge and treat patients.

Outside of work, Caroline volunteers as a mentor for high school students who are a part of the Youth Philanthropy Council through the Community Foundation of Southern Indiana. Caroline assists them in understanding and participating in the grant cycle and connecting with the non-profits that benefit from these funds in the Clark and Floyd County communities.

She also works weekends at a yoga studio in Louisville, KY, and loves to practice there throughout the week. When Caroline’s not busy with all that, you can find her spending time with her fiancé, Daniel, and cat Ollie. She loves to hike, kayak, tent camp, and spend time outdoors.

You will see Caroline working with inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation patients, and working with patients in our Swing Bed Program.

Please join us in making Caroline feel welcome!
