"Our staff of therapists provide the most cutting edge, evidence-based care available," Ellis Hospital's Director of Rehabilitation Services Robert Fleming said. "We strive for excellence in providing care to you and make continued clinical education and learning a big focus, as we know that staying abreast of the latest industry advances and techniques is paramount to success."

Ellis Hospital's Rehabilitation Services combines the expertise of our Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech - Language Pathology departments. We offer rehabilitation programs for inpatients, outpatients and residents of the Ellis Center for Long Term Care, with specific goals and strategies assigned as follows:

Inpatient Rehabilitation - programs that aim to improve functional mobility in order to assist in a patient's discharge from the hospital. Areas of focus include gait, exercise, functional mobility training and education. Patients from various hospital units benefit from our inpatient services, including medical/surgical, orthopedic, neurological (we are a key component of the Stroke Center), emergency room, cardiac, oncology and pulmonary cases.

Outpatient Rehabilitation - programs that offer hands-on care and functional progressive exercise for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, such as spinal pain, extremity pain, headaches and difficulty with functioning in everyday life. Areas of focus include functional capacity evaluations, work hardening/work conditioning, functional and sport specific training, clinical research and clinical education. Our outpatient center works closely with the Headache Center located at Ellis Hospital.

Ellis Residential & Rehabilitation Center - residents of Ellis Hospital's 82-bed nursing home, Ellis Residential & Rehabilitation Center, benefit tremendously from our rehabilitation programs. We work with residents on a regular basis to improve and maintain function. Additionally, we provide services to individuals in our short stay rehabilitation program with the goal of discharge home or to an assisted living facility.

The Rehabilitation Services Department at our McClellan Campus provides a broad range of inpatient and outpatient services for individuals experiencing musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, stroke, cardiac and pulmonary conditions, diabetes and weakness related to acute and chronic medical conditions.
