Outpatient Rehabilitation
When you’re working hard to recover from an illness or injury, you want access to rehabilitation services close to home. The outpatient rehabilitation clinic at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center provides the therapies you need to return to your regular activities.
Our outpatient rehabilitation program works with your doctor to find therapies that help you improve your strength and flexibility. If needed, we’ll teach you new skills, too. Our goal is to get you back to your regular routine.
Our team of licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech pathologists creates a plan just for you, based on your specific condition.
