Inpatient vs. outpatient programs
Some of our therapy services are offered as inpatient programs. In these programs, patients are admitted to the hospital for the duration of their treatment. Goals are set at the start of treatment, and patients are discharged home when those goals have been achieved. We establish goals based on input from the patient as well as the doctor's recommendations, with the aim of maximizing the patient's physical functioning before he or she returns home.
With outpatient treatment, patients are not admitted to the hospital. There is more flexibility for patients to continue the recovery process while getting back to their everyday lives. Our outpatient programs handle everything from sports injuries to cancer rehabilitation.
