Therapy Center

The Highlands Medical Center Therapy Center offers a broad range of therapy services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and industrial rehabilitation.

We collaborate with your physician to promote the healing process and work toward your regaining functional abilities lost due to injury or disease. Therapy is a team approach, with the patient as the most important team member. You are an active participant in setting therapy goals and establishing treatment programs, with direction from licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists.

We currently offer therapy services in multiple settings including inpatient, outpatient, skilled nursing health and rehab facilities, and home health.
