Occupational Therapy
We assist you in developing the skills required to accomplish personal needs as well as participating in the workplace and community. Skill development may be as basic as bathing, dressing and eating or as skilled as the operation of an electronic wheelchair. Whether the disability is a result of an injury, a developmental defect, aging, stroke or a disease such as multiple sclerosis, our occupational therapists are professionally trained to help you keep strength, eye-hand coordination or independence in home or vocational activities. A certified hand therapist is also available for rehabilitation of the hand, wrist, elbow and customized splinting.
Speech-Language Pathology
This service provides therapy to both adults and children with speech and language impairments. This therapy may be beneficial if you or a family member experience problems like the inability to use or understand words, progressive nerve disorders such as Parkinson's disease, voice problems, cerebral palsy, cancer or stuttering. Our speech pathologists also can play a significant role in video fluoroscopy used for identifying swallowing disorders.
Respiratory Care
Newark-Wayne Community Hospital offers specialized pulmonary care for both children and adults. We provide consultation, assessments, follow-ups, education and co-management of many breathing disorder cases. A pulmonary function lab is available to outpatients for complete pulmonary diagnostic services.
