Heartland-Knollview Congratulates Rehab Grads

from Heartland Health Care Centers

Rehabilitation is an important part of the recovery process after surgery, illness or injury or as part of a strengthening program. It requires dedication by all those involved, including patients, therapists, nurses and physicians. Heartland-Knollview would like to congratulate our rehabilitation graduates as they leave our center to return to their meaningful lifestyles.

"Our graduates' hard work and commitment to their recovery makes us proud every day," Lenee Gabris, Director of Rehabilitation said. "We focus on returning our patients home as quickly as possible, but it is their determination and willingness to work as a team that makes it happen. Setting reasonable goals, individualized care plans and maintaining a positive attitude allows our patients as well as our staff to work together to achieve successful outcomes."

Heartland-Knollview offers physical, speech and occupational therapy to meet the needs of each individual patient. Our comprehensive programming effectively treats patients with conditions such as stroke, orthopedic injuries, total joint replacement, amputation, cardiac-related problems, neuro-muscular insufficiency and head/spinal cord injuries. We provide 24-hour skilled nursing care and offer a unique variety of lifestyle and medical management programs to maximize our patients' personal independence and quality of life.
