KEARNEY-The 13-bed Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit (IRU) at CHI Health Good Samaritan is celebrating 30 years of providing acute physical, occupational and speech therapy. Good Samaritan was the first hospital in the region to offer this type of comprehensive care in a hospital setting.
The community, including former patients and staff, are invited to an open house from 3 until 4 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 22 on the hospital’s 3rd floor. Participants are asked to enter the hospital through the Emergency entrance, parking lot A. Masking and screening policies will be followed.
In addition to tours of the unit, staff will provide demonstrations of the therapy gym’s newest equipment.
Last fiscal year, the IRU cared for 241 patients – the largest number since it opened in 1992.
The hospital is celebrating the anniversary during National Rehabilitation Awareness Week, Sept. 19-25.
