United Medical Rehabilitation Hospital

We are dedicated professionals working in a small, intimate setting focused on only one thing: Rehabilitation. This means our staff carries a smaller patient load, spends more time with each patient, and takes the time to do the little extra things that make a big difference. After all, patients spend about 2 weeks with us; we get to know each other by first names, and we all work together. Rehabilitation is a process of therapy interventions supervised by a specialized physician called a Physiatrist. This medical specialty is focused on patients whose functional abilities- dressing, bathing, walking, and grooming, for instance- have been impaired through accident, injury, or illness. “Activities of Daily Living” are the foundation of every patient’s successful outcome in rehab. A Physiatrist supervises a staff of therapists: Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, and medical Social Workers, who help patients learn to overcome their impairments. Physiatrists also treat medical conditions that might affect a patient’s ability to participate in therapy. Diabetic, cardiac, and respiratory conditions are typical medical issues treated in a rehabilitation setting. We are about embracing possibilities where your rehabilitation is concerned!
