At Terrebonne General Health System, our staff's goal is to help you maintain
and restore optimal strength and stamina. It’s common for patients
who have spent a long time at a hospital to lose function from a physical,
cognitive, social, economic, or psychological standpoint. That’s
where we come in. Weproudly offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Any or all of these forms of rehabilitation may take an active role in
helping you heal so you can return home as quickly and safely as your
condition improves.
Our Mission
The mission of the Health and Rehabilitation Center is to provide exceptional
patient-centered care for healing and recovery from compassionate professionals.
Goals of the Center
Our services aim to maximize the individual's potential in restoring function
and help the individual make adjustments by integrating other services.
The atmosphere of the Health and Rehabilitation Center is warm, open, and
supportive. Patients, families, and staff become partners in developing
the skills of the patient.
We focus on the individual's abilities rather than disabilities to not
hinder the purpose of our team approach toward completing treatment goals.
