One of the assets of being able to offer therapy throughout the continuum of care is the ability to keep patients at Bluefield Regional not only for occupational and physical therapy, but also for nursing services. Providing services on the hospital campus allows the physician to maintain involvement with the patient and the 1:1 contact and communication that are essential in the recovery process. Bluefield Regional occupational and physical therapists understand the importance of communication and do an excellent job not only in the direct care they provide, but also in communication regarding the patients with the referring physician. I have observed first hand excellent outcomes with the patients I treat. This leads not only to a happy and satisfied patient, but happier families as well. I would encourage any patient in need of occupational or physical therapy to consider Bluefield Regional as their provider of choice.
