The loss of a limb is a life-changing challenge. It can cut to the core of who you are. But we’re with you every step of the way, with therapies, techniques and technology that might surprise you.
The loss of a limb is a life-changing challenge for anyone. Whether it’s lost to illness, injury or an accident, the loss can cut to the core of who you are – because you have to learn how to live, work and play differently. At INTEGRIS Health, you don’t have to walk this path alone, because we’re with you every step of the way.
INTEGRIS Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation offers the most comprehensive range of inpatient and outpatient services in the region to help you cope with your limb loss and live a fuller life than you ever expected. Our interdisciplinary team is dedicated to recovery not just of physical deficits, but of the whole person – emotionally, physically, mentally and socially.
Above all, our primary goal is to make sure that when you leave Jim Thorpe, you’re able to go home and resume as much of your normal life as possible. And we’ve been highly successful with that. Over the last five years, we’ve helped about 75 amputee patients each year, and more than 80% of those with lower extremity amputations were discharged to home or the community – 8% higher than the national average.
We don't want to simply show you the practical side of living after limb loss. Our goal is to help you live fully – to recover not only as many physical abilities as possible, but to address emotional, mental and social changes as well. To that end, we offer a combination of therapies and services you won't find anywhere else in the region, including:
