Rehabilitation and Occupational Medicine at Upper Providence occupies 6,000 square feet of the new Jefferson facility. The program is staffed with multidisciplinary rehabilitation and occupational medicine professionals who work together to treat local residents as well as assist businesses in returning injured workers to their job. We provide the resources and expertise to assist businesses in managing workers compensation claims and decreasing lost time days. Individualized treatment plans are offered by highly skilled, experienced therapists and medical providers. The program provides account management that eliminates the expense of multi-providers while maintaining close case management and service control for the employer or insurance carrier.
Communication is a critically important component in the process.
Direct communication with the attending health care provider, and issuance of progress reports, gives employers immediate appraisal of an employee's status throughout treatment. Home exercise programs are developed to reinforce the lessons learned in therapy and to return the patients to their optimal function as quickly as possible. This increased understanding regarding medical treatment, coupled with active involvement in the recovery process, facilitates the employee's return to pre-injury status. Cancer care services are now provided by Pottstown Memorial Regional Cancer Center, affiliated with Fox Chase Cancer center. Einstein also operates a primary care network, Einstein Neighborhood Healthcare.
