    Canine Assisted Therapy Program

    Our Regional Acute Rehabilitation Center team includes trained therapy dogs who help people recovering from stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and other illnesses.

    Our therapy dogs help lift spirits and can get patients moving, which is an important part of recovery. The dogs go for walks, play fetch and generally improve the health and well-being of our patients.

    One patient stated after a prolonged hospitalization, "The dogs make me feel so much better, they bring the outside in."

    Vestibular and Balance Rehabilitation Program

    A variety of conditions in the inner ear and brain can cause dizziness, imbalance, vertigo and other visual tracking problems. Our Vestibular and Balance Rehabilitation Program can help you overcome these symptoms.
