Rehabilitation Services

The Rehabilitation Services Department is staffed by friendly, experienced, Connecticut licensed professionals offering patients a broad range of clinical skills and expertise. Our therapists believe in the “team approach” to patient care, working together to create an individualized plan of care to ensure the most appropriate treatment goals for each patient.
Day Kimball Hospital is fortunate to be able to offer Dr. Joseph O'Keefe,
