Post-Intensive Care Syndrome
Post-intensive care syndrome, or PICS, is made up of health problems that remain after critical illness or hospitalization. They are present when the patient is in the ICU and may persist after the patient returns home. These problems can involve the patient’s body, thoughts, feelings, or mind and may affect the family.
Freedom2Function
Our Freedom2Function PICS protocol and program are for patients who have become deconditioned, lost functional capabilities, and want to regain their lives. Our program utilizes a hands-on, individualized, one-on-one care approach that can help ensure that you or your loved one can return to prior levels of function.
The Freedom2Function protocol includes a thorough evaluation to determine lung function, strength, balance deficits, gait, stability, safety, and overall functional capabilities. Our multidisciplinary team works together to deliver solutions for each patient. Highly trained Physical and Occupational Therapists collaborate to blend the science of healing with the art of caring on multiple platforms, addressing every aspect of your diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
