consists of eight separate units that serve the inpatient needs of the John Sealy Hospital, the Child Health Center, the Rehabilitation Unit, the Texas Department
of Criminal Justice Hospital, and the Geriatric Unit. We provide outpatient services
to the Geriatric Day Hospital and the Ambulatory Care Center. Our staffincludes
physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and supportive staff, for a total
of thirty patient care providers. We are a teaching institution and routinely train
affiliating students from physical therapy programs all over the country. Our
clinical education needs, our large volume and variety of patients, and the periodic
turnover of staff have led us to establish standards of care based on diagnostic
categories. To create these standards, we developed a set of protocols in conjunction
with the physicians from each specific medical team. Protocols are made available
to all patient-care personnel and are revised regularly to accommodate changes in
surgical and treatment techniques
