The Physical Therapy Department at Grady Memorial Hospital serves the community by providing service to patients of all ages, birth to geriatric, for rehabilitation of muscular-skeletal and physical impairments. The department will service the acute needs of the patients with both in-patient and out-patient care and assess patient's long range benefits of continued care by referral to rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing facilities, nursing home placement, or home health agencies.
The patient's acute care needs are identified by an evaluation process. A treatment plan is designed and implemented through a plan of care with strategic outcomes identified in the short term and long term goals. The plan of care is implemented, reviewed, and monitored to reflect the patient's progress.
The hospital is staffed with physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, and physical therapy aides.
