Cancer patients receive specialized outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation
services through a partnership between Monmouth Medical Center
and the Rehabilitation Hospital of Tinton Falls.
Rehabilitation
is tailored to meet the individualized needs of cancer patients,
based on health issues resulting from the cancer or from cancer
treatment. Important elements of most cancer rehabilitation
programs include pain control, bladder and bowel management, the
management of spasticity and/or weakness, and specific therapies
designed to address and treat cognitive deficits (i.e., from brain
tumors).
The Rehabilitation
Hospital of Tinton Falls is a joint venture of HealthSouth, headquartered
in Birmingham, Ala., and Monmouth Medical Center. Todd Cooperman,
M.D., serves as medical director of the 60-bed acute care rehabilitation
facility, as well as section chief of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
at Monmouth Medical Center.
The Rehabilitation
Hospital provides acute inpatient rehabilitation services that
include physiatry delivered by physicians specialized in physical
medicine and rehabilitation, neuropsychological evaluation and
treatment, and physical, occupational and speech therapies.
Therapists
from The Rehabilitation Hospital also provide rehab services on
site to patients who are hospitalized at Monmouth Medical Center.
