ProgressiveHealth at Deaconess endorses a pathway approach to care in which patients benefit from communication among therapists involved with your care across all settings. We believe that should your care involve, for instance, a progression through inpatient to long term care and then to outpatient, you should not be starting over at each change in setting. Rather, your rehabilitation experience should involve as smooth of transition as possible between each setting, facilitating a more pleasant experience for you and a more efficient return to function.
