Winter Haven Hospital Rehabilitation Services enjoyed 2001 as a year brimming with challenges, education, and growth for all of our programs.

Our many services provide a comprehensive team approach to persons with a wide variety of impairments, including but not limited to, orthopedic injuries/surgeries, musculoskeletal disorders, strokes, brain injuries, and other neurological conditions. Each person we serve receives a comprehensive evaluation and educational program to assist with understanding how his or her impairment has impacted participation in life situations. Treatment is geared toward restoring participation in our patient's environment of choice.

During the past year Winter Haven Hospital Rehabilitation Services achieved a three-year Re-accreditation with CARF, the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission. Our newly re-accredited programs include the following:

  • The Joy-Fuller Rehabilitation Center (located at Winter Haven Hospital)

  • Winter Haven Hospital Outpatient Rehabilitation Center (located at Gill Jones Center)

  • ESTEEM/Vocational Rehabilitation Program (located at Gill Jones Center)

  • Lake Wales Medical Center Outpatient Rehabilitation Program
    (located at Lake Wales Medical Center)

The Joy-Fuller Rehabilitation Center Located on the seventh floor of Winter Haven Hospital the Joy-Fuller Rehabilitation Center, is a 24-bed inpatient rehab program, and the only "rehab hospital" in Polk County. The center provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary team approach, and serves adults who meet our admission criteria and have impairments as a result of strokes, brain injuries, orthopedic disorders, musculoskeletal disorders and other neurological conditions.

As a part of monitoring our quality within our programs we continually analyze our programs patient satisfaction levels, efficiency, and effectiveness. We compare our programs to the southeast United States and the nation. For the year 2001, the Joy-Fuller Rehabilitation Center served 352 persons with impairments from brain injuries, strokes, and orthopedic disorders.

  • We discharged 86% of our patients back to their home environment, which is in line with our region and the nation.

  • Our stroke patients had better overall improvement in functional tasks than our region and the nation.

We believe our past year of growth is based on the fact that we want to continue to provide our community with high quality, cost effective rehabilitation services. "Building on Accomplishments", is not just a phrase, but our way of serving our community.
