A warm thank you

by to23

I was a patient in the Spinal Cord Unit from March 25 – April 8 2009. I want to say a big thank you to everyone. The care provided was excellent. Everyone from the nurses, aides, therapists, dietary and cleaning staff was so kind and friendly. Thanks to my physical therapists Jim, Jay and Stacy. Thank you to Christy in occupational therapy for all her help.

You have an excellent facility. I feel so lucky to have been sent to your hospital after my surgery. I am doing well at home and I thank you all for making that possible.

Dear Mr. Anthony,

I recently completed two months of vestibular physical therapy in your outpatient physical therapy department.

I am writing to praise this department and in particular, my therapist Susan. I was referred to your facility by the hearing and Balance Center at Allegheny General Hospital. I needed vestibular therapy and the doctor there told me that Harmarville was able to provide that therapy.

I was so pleased with the level of care which I received. I went form being so afraid to walk, to being very confident and no longer in fear of falling. Susan was so professional, and really knew exactly how to treat me. She helped me to regain my confidence, and essentially, gave me my life back. I will always be grateful to her for that.

I would not hesitate to recommend your outpatient physical therpay department to anyone. I know that if I ever need therapy again, I will come right back to Harmarville.

Sincerely,

Virginia V.

Many thanks

We are writing in reference to our father who was a patient at Harmarville following Deep Brain Stimulation surgery in 2008. When he was admitted to your facility, we were overwhelmed with anxiety and hesitation. Your hospital is an hour away from our homes and we had never experienced this type of situation.

We want people to know what we did experience: the Admissions Department was a great source of information and a big help to us in being able to find your facility, the staff on the Parkinson's Unit became a daily part of our lives for 2 1/2 weeks. We wish we could remember all of the names of those who provided care to our father as well as reassurance to us.

Everyone was so kind to us and made us find a comfort level every day... including physical and occupational therapy. We are all more aware of how special of a person you need to be to work in a facility such as yours.

There are many rehab facilities although we would highly recommend yours after our experience.

Many thanks to all of the employees!

Thank you Harmarville!

I have just completed a twenty session rehabilitation program under the the outpatient therapy department as a result of a hip replacement surgery. My recovery process was not as fast as the surgeon's six color brochure led me to believe it should be. Given the fact that I am no longer sixteen years of age, the surgeon should be allowed some latitude in the matter. The point is that my therapist stepped into the recovery process, and now, all the muscles that should work, do work; are friendly with one another, and I am pain free.

Thank you Harmarville!

There is a second and equally important reason to write this. There is tremendous personal satisfaction in experiencing the same high quality standard of rehabilitation that HealthSouth Harmarville was always noted for. The fact is that HealthSouth Harmarville remains such a valuable community asset and a standard for quality rehabilitation speaks to the guidance of the CEO and the excellent support of the entire staff.
