Inpatient
Occupational Therapy

For chronic conditions and severe illnesses, our inpatient occupational therapy provides 24/7 support to help patients adapt to their situation and develop strength in the long term. PAM Health has inpatient acute rehabilitation locations and specialized long-term acute care to provide occupational therapy for stroke patients.

Our inpatient hospital care team includes more than occupational therapists (OTs). We provide specialists from multiple disciplines to provide comprehensive care during your long-term stay. Our OTs perform examinations and evaluations to determine the best course of treatment. They confer with our professionals to ensure all aspects of the treatment plan work toward a common goal.

Outpatient
Occupational Therapy

For smaller injuries and more manageable conditions, our outpatient occupational therapy clinics provide complete care in scheduled sessions. PAM Health has outpatient locations across the United States for convenient care. Outpatient treatment is also ideal for individuals who require continued attention after spending time in an inpatient facility.

Our OTs create treatment plans personalized to your needs. After performing an exam and evaluation, they will compile a list of therapies and practices that will benefit you the most. This plan, paired with scheduled visits, can help you see improvement in your injury or maintain the skills gained during inpatient care.
