Relocation of Rehabilitation Services

In 2022 Rehabilitation Services moved into a new location, providing larger spaces and more opportunities to improve health, including a dedicated space for pediatric therapy. 

The majority of the funding for renovating ARMC Rehabilitation Services' location was provided by the ARMC Foundation, through general fundraising and as well as a grant from the Laura .H Miller Charitable Trust. 

ARMC Rehabilitation Services Director Jim Pierce-Ruhland said: "The new facility gives us more space and improves the flow of patients and caregivers within the building. It has also opened up amazing opportunities for patients to continue to improve their health through Premiere Fitness." 

In addition to more square footage, highlights of the new facility are two separate treatment gyms—one with rubberized flooring, which aids the treatment of athletes and others who need sports medicine care—plus a specialized treatment area for pediatric patients. 

"Children often need therapy for motor skills or speech delays. Children of all ages can make great strides in functional improvement when therapy is provided early and applied consistently. Our new location provides a wonderful environment for children to receive high-quality physical, occupational or speech therapy that is safe, challenging, interactive and fun," Pierce-Ruhland said. "The ARMC Foundation provided through the Laura H. Miller Charitable Trust to support the pediatric treatment area, making it possible to incorporate unique technological tools to create individual treatment plans for children. Per Ms. Miller’s request, the pediatric room is dedicated to her son, Warren Homer Miller." 

"Moving Rehabilitation Services has been a goal since we purchased the plaza. It makes sense from a patient-care perspective to have Rehabilitation Services and Premiere Fitness located next to each other," said ACMC Healthcare System President and CEO Michael Habowski. "Our therapists will be able to incorporate equipment at Premiere Fitness into the patient's treatment plan. Patients are often encouraged to continue exercising at home or at a fitness center once their course of treatment is completed. Patients who choose to continue their exercise program at ARMC Wellness Center will already have a comfort level with the facility and equipment."
