Altru is the No. 1 resource for physical, speech, occupational and hand
therapy in the region. We serve our rural patients in their homes, nursing
homes, hospitals and clinics.
Why Choose Altru for Therapy Services?
Whether you’re trying to recover from an injury or surgery, working
on overcoming a speech-related problem or managing a chronic condition,
you shouldn’t have to travel hours to get therapy. That’s
why Altru has therapists who travel extensively throughout the Red River
Valley and beyond in both North Dakota and Minnesota, providing much-needed
therapy services to a number of communities.
Our therapists use a team approach to treat patients of all ages and injuries
on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Therapists work closely with
the patient’s physician, family and other providers to develop the
most effective rehabilitation program possible. Family members are especially
encouraged to play an active role in the rehabilitation process for their
loved one.
We help patients regain their strength and mobility after an injury. Our
therapists also provide services such as sports enhancement, work injury
rehabilitation, habilitative services, pre-employment screens and other
community needs.
Types of Regional Therapy Services Available
The team at Altru is dedicated to individualized care, no matter your age
or physical ability.
You may require a combination of therapies that are tailored to help you
meet your individual goals. We offer:
Physical therapy, which helps patients who are recovering from an accident, coping with
a disability or managing a chronic condition improve function
Occupational therapy, which helps patients relearn how to do daily activities after an injury
or disease, or for people with disabilities to assist in learning how
to do things for the first time. Our occupational therapists also specialize
in upper extremity care.
Speech-language therapy, which helps children and adults alike by treating disorders that affect
the ability to communicate
At Altru, we take our mission statement seriously. To achieve optimum health
for all residents in our region requires coordination and teamwork. We
take care to maintain positive relationships with other health care facilities
and professionals.
Altru's Regional Therapy Services provides an important link in the regional
network of care. For this reason, we emphasize local partnerships, customize
contracts to meet each client's individual needs and ensure a continuity
of care. Altru's team also promotes and enhances therapy services and
programs at a local level, creating a win-win situation for both patients
and healthcare organizations.
