Our therapy team is committed to meeting your personal rehab goals so that you may return to the activities you enjoy.

 

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is an effective manual therapy that involves a series of stretches, exercises, and movements designed to improve muscle control and functionality. This can be especially important following major reconstructive surgery, and can help patients improve recovery times and regain their independence.

Speech Therapy

Speech language pathology is a healthcare profession that focuses on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating communication and swallowing disorders in individuals of all ages. Speech language pathologists are trained to work with all populations, including infants, children, teens, adults, and seniors.

Inpatient services are provided to individuals who require hospitalization due to illness, injury, or surgery. Inpatient speech language pathologists work with patients who have communication and swallowing disorders related to their medical conditions. They collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care and help patients recover their communication and swallowing abilities.

Outpatient services are provided to individuals who do not require hospitalization and can receive treatment on an outpatient basis. They provide individualized treatment plans and work with patients and families to achieve optimal outcomes using the best evidence-based practices

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is the only profession that helps people across the lifespan to do the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities. Occupational therapy practitioners enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability. Occupational Therapy promotes independence and safety within a person’s physical capabilities.

Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic therapy differs from land therapy due to the specific properties of water. These unique properties decrease joint compression forces, may reduce inflammation and provide feedback for improving posture.  For those patients who may have difficulty exercising on land, aquatic therapy provides a comfortable and therapeutic medium in which to gain strength and endurance.  Aquatic rehabilitation provides opportunities for movement the patient may otherwise be unable to perform.  It allows for efficient training of multiple systems during a single session.

The care that was provided by The nurses (Cindy, Felicia Ruth) and staff was exceptional. The entire staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We received a call from Felicia the next day to check on my husband to check his pain level and do a follow up. The surgery area from check in to check out was well organized, clean, and up to date. Thank you to all of you for what you do so well and everything beyond your normal duties.

Dr Vix is the best! Great caring, compassionate personality. He doesn’t treat my husband with demensia any different than he does me. A great asset to our emergency room at Schoolcraft!

Went in for my annual. I like joan, she actually listens to the patient. She gets her information and then acts on it accordingly. Great bedside manner. Also accommodating to my issues with hearing. In one visit we established a level of trust. Not easy to do with me. So she's a good source for medical care.

Jen was fantastic. She explained everything, answered every question we had and explained it in terms in which we could understand. She was down to earth and it was an amazing experience for it being what it was. They got us in fast and she didn't hurry us through and treat us like a number.

Dr. Vix was so thorough and took such good care of me. I ended up in the ED with severe abdominal pain and he ordered imaging, determined the diagnosis and started treatment right away. I was well taken care of & everything was conveyed to my husband and I with understanding and guidance. I’m feeling so much better already.

I went in for emergency hernia surgery, the nurses, ER doctor, surgical nurses were extremely professional with amazing personalities, the general surgeon was highly professional and canceled all of his afternoon meetings in order to get me into surgery and not have me waiting in pain, also explained everything in a way I understood and all the risks with zero doubt! Highly highly highly recommend this hospital! Thank you for making my experience awesome!

Wish you can show this to all the workers there. 😊💕
I wish this hospital were much closer to me in the Iron Mountain area. The nurses, surgeons, doctors—especially Dr. Paul Kemmeter and his entire team—were absolutely outstanding. Every interaction was handled with professionalism, compassion, and genuine care. They were some of the most heartwarming and comforting medical professionals I have encountered in my 34 years. The level of support and reassurance they provided truly made a difference in my experience. But one thing for sure 🥹😂 If I am fortunate enough to have my first child in the future, I would sincerely hope it could be at this hospital.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review. We can definitely share this with our employees. We have an amazing surgical crew and team at Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital. We do not deliver babies at our hospital but appreciate the sentiment that you received outstanding care.
