Occupational Therapy
Licensed occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants offer a variety of occupational therapy services to meet our patients' needs in an outpatient setting. They work with adults who, because of physical, developmental, social or emotional conditions, need specialized assistance to help restore independent and meaningful lives. The main focus of an occupational therapist is to work with patients to help them achieve fulfilled and satisfied lives through the use of purposeful activity or interventions designed to achieve the best possible outcomes.
