Cass St. has helped patients regain<br>mobility and function as the location of Parkview Wabash Hospital\u2019s outpatient therapy department. In recent<br>months, the facility has undergone its own rehab and now is in better shape than ever to serve the<br>community under a new name, Parkview Wabash (PWB) Outpatient Therapy.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Area residents are invited to see the changes for themselves at an open house from 5 to 6:15 p.m. on<br>Wednesday, Aug. 19. Therapists will be on hand to answer questions and help guests try the new<br>equipment.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis renovation reflects our commitment to making each patient\u2019s therapy experience the best it can be \u2013<br>safe, instructive and effective,\u201d said Deb Potempa, market president, Parkview Health South. \u201cDemand for<br>our therapy services has been on the rise in recent years, and the time has come for facility improvements to<br>accommodate growth while supporting our team\u2019s ability to continue providing high-quality care.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a refreshed design and new flooring, PWB Outpatient Therapy offers a revitalized 6,000-square-foot<br>space with new features focused on expanding patient access, improving safety and enhancing patient<br>outcomes with state-of-the-art technology and equipment: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schenkel Construction of Fort Wayne worked with Parkview Wabash on the renovation, which was made<br>possible, in part, by donor generosity through gifts to the Parkview Health Foundation.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Parkview Health Foundation is proud to partner with Parkview Wabash to support this project,\u201d said<br>Denise Andorfer, foundation director. \u201cDonors supporting Parkview Wabash are dedicated to ensuring that<br>new programs and expanded services are a priority, advancing the vision of our clinical teams for the<br>community\u2019s growing needs.&#8221;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among its specialized tools to aid patient relief and recovery, PWB Outpatient Therapy\u2019s team is proud to<br>offer an aquatic therapy pool and an interactive balance trainer.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to its zero-entry design, the therapy pool is accessible for patients with mobility restrictions. The<br>patient enters the pool at floor level, using handrails for safety, then the pool floor is lowered to the<br>appropriate depth for treatment. As the patient walks the treadmill floor, underwater cameras let the therapist observe the person\u2019s gait characteristics to provide needed training. Being submerged in water up to the shoulders means patients need to support only about 20 percent of their actual weight; buoyancy helps spare joints the stress of full weight-bearing exercise. Resistance can be added with water jets to make walking or exercising more challenging for muscles.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The balance trainer is a harness-and-interactive-platform system used for whole-body balance and gait<br>training associated with a variety of medical conditions including stroke, Parkinson\u2019s disease, multiple<br>sclerosis, concussions, inner ear disorders and more. As the patient moves, the system gathers data on<br>perception and how the person controls their balance, enabling the therapist to gauge what changes are<br>needed to help the person gain greater stability. The trainer can also be used to improve muscle control and<br>functional balance before and after surgery.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to physical therapy, PWB Outpatient Therapy also offers occupational therapy. Speech therapy<br>services \u2013 which address speech, language and communication disorders \u2013 are offered at the hospital, 10<br>John Kissinger Drive, Wabash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"205\" src=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Parkview-Health-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-101477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Parkview-Health-2.jpg 776w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Parkview-Health-2-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Parkview-Health-2-768x203.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<!--AUTO-AD-AFTER-->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center\"\n        data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\"\n        data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\n        data-ad-slot=\"9212395598\"><\/ins>\n    <script>(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WABASH, IN \u2013 For years, The Rehab Place at 502 S.
