"After two months in the hospital as much as Judy and I wanted to go home, it was pretty hard to leave all the people who had helped me so much. I owe them a lot. I had the absolute best rehabilitation anyone could ask for."

The experienced physicians and other health care professionals at Genesis Medical Center address the medical conditions and related issues of patients with SCI that affect the patient and their families. It is our goal to maximize potential for neurological recovery and functional mobility and to minimize any associated conditions or complications.
The professional treatment team consists of a physiatrist (rehab doctor), nurses, occupational therapist, physical therapist, respiratory therapist, speech language pathologist, therapeutic recreation specialist, social worker, clinical psychologist, spiritual care associate, dietitian, and wound care specialist who have multiple years of experience. The team of professionals caring for the patient have received additional training at local and national seminars. We also have a staff member on the team with a Spinal Cord Injury 20 years ago that contributes his knowledge and experience. Members of the team have professional memberships in several local and national SCI organizations.
Treatment includes the following areas
Bowel/bladder training, skin integrity, understanding and managing respiratory function, seating/positioning, adaptive equipment training, activities of daily living, environmental control systems, sexual function, wheelchair management, home management modifications, driver's evaluation and training, bracing, spasticity management, pain management, community retraining, psychosocial management, functional mobility, vocational referrals, nutrition, general health, preventive health care, and financial/community resources.
