“April from therapy is amazing. She was so helpful. She was never afraid to help me. She was so kind and gentle but made sure I was always working hard too. She is the best therapist I have ever had.” – B.T

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is used to help people participate in the activities of everyday life that have been affected by injury, overuse or aging.

Call 260-667-5527 for an appointment.

Cameron Hospital offers Phase 2 and Phase 3 rehab for cardiac or pulmonary disease.

Phase 2 is an individualized treatment plan that focuses on monitored, progressive exercise utilizing ECG (heart rhythm monitoring).

Phase 3 most often follows the completion of Phase 2. It is a supervised rehabilitation program. Blood pressure and heart rates are taken; however, a heart monitor is usually not worn. Patients exercise on their own while being supervised by hospital staff for up to one year.
