Exceeding Expectations
“In 2009, when Marietta was totally disabled by a very rare cancer side effect – PCD, Paraneoplastic Cerebellar Degeneration, her prognosis sounded grim. Medical literature suggested that patients with PCD usually continue to lose function, but that aggressive therapy can slow the progression of PCD damage. Marietta’s function has not regressed. Instead, through Marietta’s determination and hard work, and the efforts of our outstanding therapists, Marietta continues to make small, slow, functional improvements. Bravo, professional staff. Rehabilitation Services at Madison Regional Hospital is a huge blessing and help for Marietta and me. We celebrate the effective, compassionate, and skillful care of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy Rehabilitation Services staff. During the 13 years we have been clients, Madison Hospital Rehab has earned our highest commendation. Our therapists are great at individualizing. We appreciate the way they ask about our goals, and then help us work toward achieving realistic, functional goals.”
