“There is a place for you anywhere at PinnacleHealth,” says Ted Yanchuleff, PT, ATC, MPA,
Manager, Outpatient Rehab Services. “Regardless of setting—whether it's acute care, rehabilitation,
occupational therapy, or home care—we are a full-fledged entity providing leading services in
the area.”
Whether you need relief from carpel tunnel syndrome, aching joints felt in every day activity or
you’ve suffered a stroke or other traumatic injury, our team is committed to return you to good
health and a functional lifestyle. While treatments range from medication or therapy to surgery,
the focus remains the same—patient-focused care.
Patient-focused care means meeting the needs of every patient during every stage of their
rehabilitation process. At PinnacleHealth, we provide a full range of advanced rehabilitative care,
using the latest technology and techniques. We also offer specialized services for core programs
including Brain or Nerve Injury/Disorders, Cancer/Lymphedema, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Hand
and Upper Extremity Disorders, Orthopedic Rehabilitation and McKenzie Method Spine Center
Program.
Three Hydroworx pools (like those used by the Philadelphia
Eagles) can be found at three convenient locations: Dillsburg,
Fredricksen Outpatient Center, and at the Helen M. Simpson
Community Campus location.
“Our vision is simple—we want to meet the needs of the
community. We have the most qualified and convenient
rehabilitation program just 10 minutes or 10 miles from your
home or work,” Yanchuleff says.
Whether you live on the East or West Shore, the goal with every
patient, every time is producing excellent outcomes, increasing
patient satisfaction, and providing unsurpassed, leading
rehabilitation care—in both traditional and specialty services.
Our two acute care facilities (on the Community Campus and
at Harrisburg Hospital) offer patients a full range of rehabilitative
services on site including physical, occupational, and speech
therapy. What is particularly special about PinnacleHealth and its therapy services are the specialty
programs—many of which people do not know about until they find they or a loved one needs it.
PinnacleHealth Spine Centers are two of less than 30 Certified McKenzie Clinics in the U.S. This
comprehensive therapeutic program is based on the cause and effect relationship between pain
and pain response, often resulting in a reduced number of physical therapy visits for the patient.
For patients with hand and upper extremity pain, simple tasks such as carrying groceries, driving,
working at a computer or gardening can become impossible. Whether your situation is postoperative
or injury-related, our hand/wrist orthopedic treatments on the Fredricksen and Community
Campuses can get you back to self-sufficiency.
From assessments and diagnosis to traditional and post-surgical therapies, the high level of
core care and one-on-one individual treatment given to each patient is both special and unique
according to Yanchuleff, “Once you’re in the system, you generally will see the same therapist and
receive that continuity of care.”
We want the community to know us before they need us. In doing so, people should know
about the breadth and depth of rehabilitation and therapeutic services in their own backyards.
PinnacleHealth is with every patient through their recovery process.
