The Hendrick Outpatient Rehabilitation takes pride in offering occupational therapy to the residents of Brown County and the surrounding area. Occupational therapy enables people of all ages to perform successfully and independently everyday skills that may have been affected by an injury, illness, or lifelong disability. This is accomplished by individuals using their own strengths and capabilities to teach ways to dress, bathe or navigate their environment through the use of techniques or specialized equipment called adaptive equipment.

Occupational Therapists use experience and education to treat each patient as an individual who has psychological, emotional, social, and physical needs to:

• Formulate their personal goals and achieve them
• Function at their highest possible level of independence
• Re-build and maintain their independence
• Participate successfully in the activities that make their life worth living

Outpatient occupational therapist, Jocelyn Seamans treats patients with upper extremity injuries soon after surgery and/or injuries including the use of custom static splinting if needed and those with developmental disabilities. The most recent assessment addition targets before and after breast cancer surgery or radiation. The treatment focuses on regaining motion of the arm that reduces the risk and/or management of lymphedema (swelling).

Inpatient occupational therapist, Kimberly Dizo treats the hospitalized/acute patients to ensure they maximize their independence to the best of their abilities to manage their self-care, home management tasks, and functional mobility through strengthening and building confidence for their transition to home or a rehabilitation facility.
