Rehabilitation Services

Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center is committed to making a difference in people’s lives through excellent patient care. Rehabilitation often is a key component of the care we provide. Physical rehabilitation is a medical specialty that involves the process of restoring function for a person who has been disabled as a result of a disease, disorder, or injury.

The hospital offers inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient therapy services to help patients reach their highest level of function as quickly and safely as possible. From inpatient therapy that begins in the hospital to specialized rehabilitation and therapy
programs, the hospital meets the varied rehabilitative needs of its patients.

Rehabilitation Services Overview
Banner Del E. Webb offers a vast assortment of  inpatient and outpatient therapy services. From minor deficits to severe conditions affecting an individual’s ability to live and function independently, the experienced staff in the Banner Del E.

• Occupational Therapy works to improve a
  patient’s functional daily living skills, including dressing, grooming and eating, as well as to improve motor, cognitive and social skills. Occupational therapists also specialize in increasing strength and movement of the hands and upper extremities. They help patients relearn functional tasks in different ways and instruct them in the use of adaptive equipment that may make daily tasks easier.
