New Technology to Benefit Rehab Services

     With the increasing elderly population as well as the baby-boom generation entering the prime age for chronic illness or injury, there is an increasing demand for physical rehabilitation.
     The need for medical technology and the use of evidence-based practices to treat the expected influx are just some of the many considerations made by Frank Grispino, MOT, OTR/L, CHT, Director of St. Francis Rehab & Sports Medicine, as he plans for 2012 and beyond.
     Enhanced technology and increasing volumes were two of the factors for selecting new and replacement equipment for the Rehab department for the coming year.

It was good to be a patient at St. Francis, as I was respected as a person and not just a number. The hospital was on task in every department, such as the cleaning crew, the lab workers, the nurses, the pharmacist who assist in the Coumadin Clinic, Dr. Bomar, Dr. Sporleder, and Dr. Dawson. Thanks to the sisters for their prayers, and the compassion of all who serve there!
