Scripps Mercy San Diego Outpatient Physical Rehabilitation runs the hospital-affiliated outpatient PT arm of Scripps Mercy Hospital out of Suite 300 in the medical office building directly across Fourth Avenue from the hospital campus. Patients stepping down from surgical, orthopedic, and cardiac inpatient floors at Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego transition into outpatient rehabilitation here without leaving the block. The clinical mix includes post-surgical orthopedic protocols, neurological rehabilitation after stroke and traumatic brain injury, vestibular rehab for balance disorders, and cardiopulmonary reconditioning for patients recovering from cardiac events. Post-operative recovery plans for joint replacement patients of Scripps-affiliated surgeons including Dr. David W. Fabi run on twelve- to sixteen-week staged protocols through this department. Polytrauma rehabilitation '' coordinated physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy for patients recovering from motor vehicle crashes, major falls, or surgical complications '' anchors the most clinically demanding end of the caseload.
