AIKEN — A new post-acute health care facility is scheduled to begin serving patients Nov. 17.
PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital has 42 private rooms and a gym with “technologically advanced” equipment, according to a recent news release.
In-house dialysis will be available, and there will be a full complement of physical, occupational and speech therapists to assist individuals recovering from such health challenges as traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, heart attacks, amputations and severe illness.
The facility’s staff “will deliver comprehensive personalized treatment programs designed to accelerate recovery and optimize patient outcomes by using state-of-the-art technologies, highly specialized care plans and innovative approaches to care,” the release states.
Patients will be able to return for outpatient therapy after being discharged.
Dr. Joan Hou will be the medical director of the facility, which is off Trolley Run Boulevard at 4186 Incense Cedar Drive.
She is a board certified psychiatrist in physical medicine and rehabilitation and brain injury medicine.
