Rehab week, we celebrated the dynamic folks who help with and provide rehab services to our community! Hearing "Rehab Awareness Week" would make one think that this week is about our OTs, PTs, Speech therapists, and techs, but we know that in addition to these great disciplines, every team member is needed to make a difference when working to restore function and independence for our patients. That means we also celebrate our nurses, physicians, housekeepers, pharmacists, educators, case managers, HR reps, unit secretaries, materials management, receptionists, nutritionists, coders, finance, admissions, plant ops, cafe, and quality assurance folks. Hope everyone had a Happy Rehab Week
