Helen Hayes Hospital is dedicated
to enabling individuals of all abilities to lead active, healthy
lifestyles. Participation in sports and recreational pursuits
helps to make this possible.
Our recreational
therapy staff, along with physical therapists and other rehabilitation
professionals, encourages patients to explore a range of activities.
This process is incorporated into the rehabilitation program,
and continues once patients are discharged back to the community.
Exposure to new leisure activities, as well as re-introduction
to activities favored prior to being injured, speeds the recovery
process and demonstrates that living a full and enjoyable
life is within reach.
Current and former patients, as well as individuals
with disabilities living in the community, are given opportunities
to participate in a range of recreational activities. All
activities are supervised by trained staff, taking into account
individual needs and abilities. Equipment can be adapted as
necessary and patients are encouraged to utilize newly developed
skills and techniques acquired through rehabilitation.
Activities include the following:
Aquatics
Gardening
Kayaking
Handcycling
Sailing
Snow skiing
Softball
Yoga
Bowling
Ceramics
Golf: the hospital's GolfAbility program teaches the basics of golf to individuals with disabilities
and mobility impairments. |
