Rehabilitation Services

Cabell Huntington Hospital helps patients recover from illness or injury through its Rehabilitation Services Department. Therapy during a patient's hospital stay and after returning home can be vital to resuming an active lifestyle.

The Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation units use a variety of tools and techniques such as exercise, gait training, pain management, training in the activities of daily living and speech/language training to help patients regain strength and functioning.

Physical Therapy

With a physician's referral, patients are evaluated and treatment programs are developed for each patient's specific problems and needs. The department provides in- and outpatient programs and establishes home programs.

Speech Therapy

Speech therapy involves the evaluation and treatment of articulation, language, voice, fluency, feeding and swallowing disorders. Speech therapy works with patients from infants to the elderly.

• Individualized treatment programs to improve your ability to perform daily activities
• Performance skills assessments and treatment
