  1. Coastal Rehabilitation Hospital

  2. Mission Statement Coastal Rehabilitation Hospital helps patients with debilitating injury or disease recover mobility and independence both through inpatient treatment and the Day Hospital Program. The focus is on improving a patient’s mobility, self care, communication, and social skills.

  3. History • The 66,000-square foot facility opened in 1994. • CRH is an extension of New Hanover Regional Medical Center. • It houses 60 inpatient beds and has a 3,000-square foot therapy gym in which patients work to rebuild their strength. • Programs available: Acute Care Rehabilitation Services, Inpatient Services, Day Program, Outpatient Services.

  4. Population Served Coastal Rehabilitation Hospital treats patients suffering from chronic conditions such as arthritis or multiple sclerosis as well as patients who have suffered a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. Conditions Commonly Treated: • CVA/Stroke • Brain dysfunction • Spinal cord dysfunction • Neurological disorders • Amputations • Pediatric conditions • Developmental delays • Speech abnormalities • Communication disorders • Swallowing difficulties

  5. Patients are treated by a rehabilitation team which includes case managers, rehabilitation nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists,speech/language pathologists, and a rehabilitation psychologist. All the members of the team work together to develop a treatment plan that meets the patient’s short and long-term needs. Dr. James Travis Colwell, PhD Rehabilitation Psychologist Treatment Team

  6. Easy Street • Convenience store • Bank office • Department store • Fast food restaurant • Car • Apartment

  7. Peer Support Volunteer • Visit patients who are recommended by the staff as needing the most attention. • Make sure they have everything they need. • Mirror Dr. Colwell’s therapy sessions • Debrief about each patient following Dr. Colwell’s therapy sessions • Assist Occupational and Physical Therapists

  8. My Future Plans I chose this site because it is the type of facility that I want to end up in with my future career as a rehabilitation counselor. Being a part of helping these patients through an extremely difficult physical and emotional time in their lives has given me an overwhelming sense of fulfillment and achievement. I am starting graduate school in the fall at UNC-Chapel Hill in the Rehabilitation Counseling and Psychology Program. To have already had the opportunity to experience one-on-one patient interaction as a volunteer at Coastal Rehabilitation Hospital, it has helped prepare me tremendously for graduate school.

  9. Excellent Cite for Future Volunteers! YES!!! I would recommend this cite to any other students. Being able to follow a psychologist around and observe how they interact with patients is an extremely helpful learning tool that not many students are able to experience as undergraduates.
