Renown Children's Nephrology

Take a moment to think about your favorite hobby. Perhaps you enjoy going for walks or runs. Maybe you prefer painting or singing. Or you might like playing video games or doing jigsaw puzzles. Whatever hobby you love surely brings joy to your life, right? Now, imagine you suffered a stroke, a traumatic brain injury, a broken hip, a limb amputation or another physical health obstacle. You notice that it is more difficult to participate in your favorite pastimes. And beyond that, even the activities of daily living are now a struggle – getting dressed, taking a shower, brushing your teeth, the list goes on. But guess what? There is a care team whose sole purpose is to help you regain the independence and confidence you need to embrace your life once again and return to a sense of normalcy. Meet the Inpatient Rehab Hospital Therapy (RRH Therapy) department at Renown Rehabilitation Hospital. Whether it’s helping a patient learn to walk again or showing them how they can cook and clean in a new and accessible way, these tenacious rehab therapy technicians, occupational therapists (OT), physical therapists (PT), recreation therapy specialists, speech language pathologists and OT/PT assistants will stop at nothing to ensure their patients stay on the road to recovery.

Getting ready for your baby can be exciting and overwhelming, especially when it comes to creating a safe sleep space.
