Occupational therapy
Occupational
therapy is treatment by a trained professional who helps patients gain skills
for personal needs, develop abilities necessary for school or work, learn
new ways to perform household tasks and regain lost skills. The goal of occupational
therapy is to return patients to their families and the community, achieving
their maximum level of productivity and dignity.
Within Davis Health System, occupational therapy is available to patients and outpatients at Broaddus Hospital and Davis Memorial Hospital, and to homebound patients through Davis HomePlus.
