Speech and Language Therapy

Integrated’s speech therapists help patients to relearn speech skills that may have been lost due to brain injury. We also aid patients in relearning how to chew and swallow safely after a stroke or other brain injuries.

A speech therapist will work to improve communication skills and provide training for the patient to learn compensatory skills such as sign language and lip reading. This is particularly suited for individuals who have hearing and speech disabilities.

Occupational Therapy

At Integrated, our occupational therapists enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability. Our occupational therapists provide an array of services, including helping people who are recovering from an injury regain skills and providing support for older adults who are experiencing physical and cognitive changes.

Social Worker

Integrated’s healthcare social workers help our clients access services and education related to health problems. Our goal is to help our clients achieve and maintain a state of optimal health so they can function in their daily lives. Integrated’s social workers act as patient advocates, educators, advisors, and coordinators of care.
