Today's topic: HCGH Neuro Rehab Clinic
Description:
Howard County General Hospital (HCGH) has opened a state-of-the-art Neuro Rehabilitation Outpatient Clinic providing care for patients dealing with post-Stroke, Brain Injury, Parkinson’s, Vestibular Disorders (dizziness) or MS. The model of care focuses on recovery through the early exercise of muscles that would otherwise suffer from lack of use.
