The outpatient program at Ballard Rehabilitation Hospital is an integral part of our continuum of care.Using computerized diagnostic and therapeutic technology, our multidisciplinary care team develops treatment plans to meet individual patient needs. A rehabilitation nurse/case manager coordinates outpatient care, ensuring that we provide quality service and timely, cost-effective outcomes.

Ballard offers a variety of quality services, including:
diagnostic and therapeutic equipment.
a mobility training court.
an apartment for activities of daily living.
a therapeutic pool that is heated and indoors.
a simulated work environment.

      Outpatient care is appropriate for patients needing therapy but not the intensity of an inpatient program. Both adult and pediatric services require a physician’s prescription. Upon referral, the outpatient program coordinator obtains pre-authorization for services and schedules the patient for evaluation.

      Our interdisciplinary team of rehabilitation specialists treats patients with multiple needs as well as those with less complex needs. Our outpatient therapies include:
physical therapy.
occupational therapy.
speech therapy (voice and cognitive rehabilitation).
