Inpatient Program
At University Hospital, we offer rehabilitation for patients recovering from a burn, in the Clark Burn Center and in the Rehabilitation Unit. All patients will be evaluated by our physical and occupational therapists to determine their current level of function.
The therapy team will aim to maximize independence by improving range of motion, functional mobility, ambulation, and the patient's ability to perform daily activities such as dressing and bathing. Our therapy staff works closely with physicians, nursing, and other staff members to ensure patients are receiving comprehensive care during the inpatient stay.
Our program includes the following:
- Comprehensive medical management
- Self-care Program
- Leisure education
- Case management
- Therapeutic Exercise and Functional Mobility/Activities Program
- Psycho-social needs assessment
- Patient/family counseling and support
- Splinting/garment care
- Spiritual support
Patients are able to continue in our outpatient program once discharged from the University Hospital or the Rehabilitation Unit.
