Overview

Infection Care
at PAM Health

Infections can range from mild to severe, sometimes leading to complications that require specialized medical treatment and rehabilitation. Serious infections, such as sepsis, pneumonia, post-surgical infections, and osteomyelitis, can impact multiple body systems, requiring a structured recovery plan to restore strength and function.

For those who need more intensive care, inpatient infection care may be the best option. This form of rehabilitation focuses on working with patients over a shorter period to maximize their recovery.

The goal is to help you return home being as independent and productive as possible.

Infection Care

For patients transitioning back home but still in need of therapy, Outpatient Rehabilitation provides physical and occupational therapy to rebuild strength, flexibility, and coordination; and education on preventing recurrence.
