Critical Care Recovery Center

Our physical therapy and occupational therapy teams work together in one space for people who have been discharged from the hospital but still require help to feel comfortable handling daily tasks and to return to prior roles and activities. We work with people who have received treatment following serious illness or trauma and spent at least four days in an intensive care unit or required mechanical ventilation during a recent hospital stay. Evaluations and treatment focus on cognition, function, strength, balance, and endurance.
