Magee Rehab is one of the nation’s top-ranked
rehabilitation hospitals. The General Rehab
Program at Magee provides comprehensive rehabilitation to individuals with a
wide variety of conditions, such as Multiple Sclerosis and functional decline secondary to
prolonged medical illness and hospitalization. The Rehabilitation Team in
collaboration with the patient and family establishes rehabilitation goals
unique to the needs of each individual patient. The focus of rehabilitation
care is to stabilize and improve medical status, increase functional capacity
and independence in activities of daily living. The General Rehabilitation
Program services are available in a variety of settings, including inpatient,
outpatient and Day Rehab.
Magee offers its MS patients case management services designed to assist them in
navigating the healthcare environment. Many issues outside of a patient’s
medical care can impact the patient’s ability to maximize progress towards
achieving independence. The Case Management department will help coordinate all
services needed to arrange for therapy, assist in financial matters and educate
patients and families on their disability. Additionally, Magee patients and
family members take part in a variety of educational activities to learn about
their injuries and illnesses. Patients learn what to expect from life at home
with a disability, how to care for themselves and prevent complications. The
patient and family learn how to support each other; they learn problem-solving
skills; and they learn how to become advocates for their healthcare rights.
Magee provides a wealth of expertise that is accessible to the patient and
family throughout the patient’s life.
Because rehabilitation is a
process that continues throughout each person’s lifetime as personal goals and
lifestyles change,
Magee’s Lifetime Follow-Up System of Care provides patients and families with continued
access to rehabilitation physicians and a team of expert rehabilitation
professionals. This team provides a variety of services to help patients regain
or maintain their level of physical function and good health.
