"As I finish my final day as Rancho's CEO, I want to take a moment to expres my heartfelt gratitudfe to each of you. It has been an incredible journey working alongside such talented and dedicated individuals. Together, we have been through a transformation of Rancho's campus, weathered a global pandemic, improved access for our patients in our outpatient clinics, and seen our rehabilitation census grow. We have achieved remarkable milestones and fostered a culture of innovation and collaboration that I am immensely proud of. I am also excited for you all, as you begin this next chapter with Dr. Konita Wilks, DDS, who will be stepping into the role of CEO. Konita brings her experience as CEO of Olive View Medical Center, with her strong history of collaboration, and clinical expertise back to Rancho. Her commitment to our values and vision, combined with her strategic insight, make her an ideal leader for our next chapter. Thank you once again for your support and dedication throughout my tenure.

Rancho hosted it's first Therapeutic Drumming session today for in-patients! This new program, funded by the Rancho Foundation, allowed patients to express themselves in a fun and creative way through a structured session led by the Wahlbangers Drum Circle Organization. We're excited by the initial response to this pilot program and look forward to seeing it grow over the coming months! #drumming #drumcircle #therapeuticdrumming #therapy #ranchorehab #ranchofoundation #rollwithrancho - Wahlbangers Drum Circle Organization / Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center

An article from Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center’s (RLA) Occupational Therapy Stroke Team was recently published in the OT Practice Magazine (April 2024). The article focusses on the protocol the team has implemented to assess and address sensory deficits for stroke survivors. Stroke affects a significant number of people in the United States each year, leading to disabilities and sensory impairments. These impairments make it challenging for stroke survivors to perform everyday activities independently. Even if motor function is restored, sensory deficits can result in learned nonuse of the affected limb and reduced participation in activities. The Occupational Therapy at RLA uses assessments like the Nottingham Sensory Assessment and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure to guide treatment plans. The center also utilizes the SENSe protocol, which focuses on retraining sensory discrimination abilities. Electrical stimulation with functional activity engagement is another intervention used to address sensory impairments. Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center is committed to empowering stroke survivors and helping them regain sensation in their affected limb, enabling them to return to everyday activities. #rollwithrancho #ranchorehab #rehabiswhatwedo
