Patient-Focused Rehabilitation Services for Maximum Results

Rehabilitation Services at Community Memorial Hospital offers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient Physical Therapy and Speech Therapy care.

Our Rehabilitation Treatment Philosophy

We emphasize an individualized plan of care with full one-on-one treatments.

Our clinicians focus on evidence based practice and utilize the most up to date treatment plans for each patient.

We incorporate the entire staff in tailoring an inclusive, patient specific treatment program to maximize recovery.

We utilize close communications with other members of the health care team to promote an integrated plan of care.

We pride ourselves on creating a comfortable atmosphere in which you are able to successfully reach your discharge goals.

We feel like education is a key to our patients’ high success rate and our staff actively engages in continuing education to provide care based on the current evidence available.
