Therapy Center
What is the Therapy Center?
Your physician may prescribe physical or occupational therapy following surgery, an orthopedic injury or another long-term illness or condition. Your physician may refer you to speech therapy for communication or swallowing disorders. Patients who experience breathing problems due to acute or chronic lung conditions are often candidates for respiratory therapy. Patients recovering from a heart attack or heart surgery typically receive cardiac rehabilitation services.
