Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit
The Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit at River Park Hospital gives the patients new hope, mobility and function, continuing their recovery as they transfer from the hospital ward after stroke, orthopaedic surgery or illness. The unit was founded in 1998 and is under the direction of Sadik Yesil, MD, who specializes in Neurology.
The 15-bed unit has the latest and best equipment to care for patients after a stroke or orthopaedic surgery like hip fractures, amputations, and joint replacements. Often, patients are additionally dehabilitated from post-operative complications or deconditioned from being bedridden. The unit's balanced program of therapies helps patients recover mobility and basic functions that depend on timely intervention.
An expert team of occupational, speech, and physical therapists work in the Inpatient Rehab Unit, and RN's are on duty 24 hours a day. The team approach is critical to ensure that a patient's long-term needs are being met and every day activities can be resumed as soon as possible.
