Memorial Health System of East
Texas Celebrates
National Rehabilitation Week
Helping someone who has suffered a disabling event
take back control of their life and their body is
the main focus of someone who works in
rehabilitation. Whether it is helping someone learn
how to walk again, speak again, or do something as
small as brush their own teeth again, those who work
in rehabilitation make a difference in many lives.
Memorial Health System of East Texas recently
recognized physical therapists, occupational
therapists and speech/language therapists during
National Rehabilitation Week in September.
Memorial Health System of East Texas aids patients
needing rehabilitation services as inpatients and
outpatients. The inpatient rehabilitation services
include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and
speech/language therapy. These services are provided
in the patient’s room as well as a large gym area
located on the 1st floor of the hospital that also
includes stairs, parallel bars, and two full body
whirlpool tubs for wound care. The team that works
with inpatient rehabilitation provides
individualized interdisciplinary assessment,
diagnosis, treatment, education and training for
patients, patients’ family, and patients’ provider.
