By focusing on highly specialized, individual care, UPMC Rehabilitation Hospital is committed to helping every patient progress to the highest level of functioning and independence possible in all facets of family, work, and community life. This is achieved through UPMC Rehabilitation Hospital's use of treatment teams and patient-focused care. In the inpatient program, for example, physical, occupational, and speech therapists and other professionals integrate all elements of rehabilitation into each patient's daily activities. Throughout the day, patients work individually with therapists from the various disciplines and incorporate rehabilitation into their daily activities, from getting dressed in the morning to carrying their dinner trays in the evening. This comprehensive team approach provides a continuum of treatment that results in functional rehabilitation in its truest form.
Family members can participate in daily activities.
Family participation encourages patients to excel and contributes to their personal triumphs. The team and family treatment concept is the foundation of UPMC Rehabilitation Hospital's success, and the hospital has been recognized as a leader in returning patients to home, work, and community life. A commitment to personalized service is another reason UPMC Rehabilitation Hospital succeeds. Just ask patients. Patient surveys consistently indicate that more than 90 percent of patients say UPMC Rehabilitation Hospital's physicians, clinicians, and treatment programs have met or exceeded their expectations.
