Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI)

Recently, our Outpatient Day Treatment Program gave back to our RHI community in their Life Skills group by making flower arrangements for the patients! Select patients who have experienced a brain injury or stroke will participate in a 12- week program working on cognitive and life skills to improve their independence in the community. For this project, one of our Program patients coordinated their family-owned flower shop, Indy Flowers, to come and teach the group members how to assemble gorgeous bouquets that they then distributed around the hospital. Patients used cognitive strategies taught in therapy to help organize, plan, and execute their project. RHI patients and staff loved the joy these bouquets brought to the units!   To learn more about our Day Treatment Program, click here: https://lnkd.in/gatv9Hcj

✨ Empowering the next generation of Hoosiers! ✨ On September 24th and 25th, RHI team members partnered with Junior Achievement of Central Indiana, a coalition of educators, organizations, and representatives of over 120 companies to support the 2024 JA JobSpark event at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center. Our team had the opportunity to collaborate with several other local hospitals to support the Health and Life Sciences section. This multi-day career expo impacts over 15,000 Indianapolis eighth graders by providing hands on learning experiences meant to "spark" an interest in their career options. The event also provides the students with a greater understanding of the coursework and skills required to be successful in a wide range of careers. Thank you to RHI therapists Kathy Ozolins and Lori Gordon for assisting in this year's event. Both provided interactive, job-specific experiences and shared their clinical expertise on careers in occupational and speech therapy. #RHIRehab #Careers #Healthcare #JAJobSparkIndy

🏡 Building a Safer Community! 🛠 In response to our recent Community Health Needs Assessment that identified unsafe housing conditions as a risk factor for injury and falls, we teamed up with SAWs (Servants At Work, Inc.) to make a difference! Friday, September 13th, RHI volunteers and SAW collaborated to sponsor and build a ramp for Laurie at her home in Indianapolis, Indiana. Laurie has been living with her daughter in Greenfield, Indiana because of difficulty with navigation into and out of her home. By providing safer access to homes, we’re working to prevent injuries and supporting healthier, more independent lives for Hoosiers! A huge thank you to our volunteers and the great team at Servants at Work who made this opportunity possible! Together, we’re creating a stronger, safer community for everyone! 🙌 #CommunityHealth #MobilityForAll #HealthImpact #HoosierHelpers #Volunteer
