Our goal is to help each patient in Wichita reach his or her maximum level of function with whatever limitations are present.
Our occupational therapy program
Our dedicated inpatient occupational therapy program offers personalized plans for you to get the care you need.
As part of our rehabilitation program, we provide occupational therapy services for patients of all ages, ranging from newborns to older adults. Our inpatient program often treats patients in our acute care, trauma, orthopedic, neurological or pediatric units. Our outpatient program assists children who have neurological or orthopedic concerns.
Wesley's occupational therapy plans are designed to meet the individual needs of each patient. An evaluation is completed on the first visit, and treatment follows only after the therapist, patient and physician develop a unique treatment plan with the best chance at the desired patient outcome.
