The team of rehabilitation specialists at PCH work together in the areas of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Audiology, to help patients get back their skills of living. Each department works closely with PCH Orthopedic and Family Practice physicians in developing and implementing a therapy regimen, designed to meet the individual needs of patients. This personalized service is what makes PCH Rehabilitation a step above the rest.

Newly renovated in 2000, the Rehabilitation Department consists of a full-service, Physical Therapy unit, complete with state-of-the-art rehabilitative equipment and individual hydrotherapy room. The Occupational Therapy unit simulates a home atmosphere, with a full kitchen and bathroom, and individual treatment rooms are used for Speech Therapy and Audiology.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy gives individuals skills for the job of living with customized treatment programs aimed at improving the daily activities of living. PCH Occupational Therapy treats individuals of all ages, including children with developmental delays; individuals with work-related injuries; individuals recovering from stroke or heart attack; and individuals with Arthritis or multiple sclerosis. 

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy assists individuals in restoring lost body functions or in adapting their lifestyles to accommodate those lost functions. PCH Physical Therapy works with both children and adult patients in establishing realistic rehabilitation goals. The department instructs and assists with techniques designed to increase strength where lost body functions are concerned, and also assists patients in coping with long-term disabilities.

PCH Youth Rehabilitation Center

In 2002, the Rehabilitation Department expanded its services with the opening of a Youth Rehabilitation Center in Piketon, which serves PCH youth outpatients, birth to school-aged children, in the capacities of Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Speech Therapy. The Center offers comprehensive rehabilitation in a large gross motor and sensory gym, along with two individual treatment areas in a distraction-free environment. Children with developmental delays or who have been diagnosed with disorders such Down's Syndrome, benefit through the Rehabilitation Center.
