This week, we proudly honor the dedication, innovation and compassion of our physical, occupational and speech therapy teams — the driving force behind so many patient success stories.
Rehabilitation is more than just recovery. It's about helping individuals regain their independence, rebuild their confidence and restore their quality of life after illness, injury or chronic conditions.
At Wesley Healthcare, our skilled rehab specialists combine advanced techniques with personalized care to deliver life-changing results every day. Whether it's a patient taking their first steps after surgery or finding their voice again after a stroke — these are the moments that define excellence in care.
👏 Join us in recognizing the incredible work of our rehab professionals and the remarkable journeys of our patients!
"A speech language pathologist (SLP) works with individuals across the lifespan targeting evaluation and treatment of swallowing (dysphagia), cognition, language, speech and voicing impairments," said Andie Wood, MS, CCC-SLP. "An SLP working with the adult and geriatric population in the acute care setting will frequently be the patient's first exposure to the profession and I feel it is paramount that this first exposure be positive for the greater good of the profession. We assess and treat patient's suffering from swallowing and cognitive-linguistic impairments resultant from stroke, TBI, dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, etc. We complete imaging of the swallow such as Modified Barium Swallow Studies (MBSS) and Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) to help in making appropriate recommendations for the safest and least restrictive diet and to guide therapeutic practices.
