You may benefit from rehabilitation therapy if you’re recovering from an illness, injury or surgery. Rehabilitation therapy can also help improve your quality of life living with a chronic illness.

At Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital, our rehabilitation therapists often care for:

• Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)

• Hand problems and injuries

• Lung infections and diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

• Muscle, bone and joint injuries

• Overuse and repetitive motion injuries

• Traumatic injuries

• Workplace injuries

• Certain cardiac conditions (check with your physician) 

• Nerve compression injuries

Inpatient rehabilitation takes place while people are staying at the hospital or at a rehabilitation center. This type of on-site program provides daily intensive therapy and medical support following an injury, illness or surgical treatment.

Outpatient rehabilitation allows patients to receive therapy during scheduled visits while continuing to live at home. Both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs focus on helping you regain function and independence.

Whether you need a referral for therapy depends on your specific insurance plan. Please contact a member of our team or your insurance provider to understand your plan's requirements.

At Dignity Health Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital, we welcome referrals from physicians. Providers can call our center for more information or to make a referral. 

Most insurance plans cover outpatient rehabilitation services when medically necessary. Ask your insurance provider or call us to understand what your specific plan requires.
