Springfield Rehab & Healthcare Introduces State-of-the-Art Therapy Gym

Springfield Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center is celebrating the opening of its new state-of-the-art therapy gym. The renovation milestone at the Springfield Township skilled nursing center coincides with the introduction of OrthoWIN, a highly specialized subacute care program for orthopedic recovery under the direction of Patrick Murphy, DO, a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) specialist.

The new gym is a centerpiece of a multi-million-dollar repositioning at Springfield. The 3,200-square-foot space features top-of-the-line equipment, including technologies to support the delivery of progressive rehab services. The gym’s spacious activities of daily living (ADL) suite mimics a home environment with a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom – enabling patients the opportunity to regain skills before returning home.

“The bright, inviting gym is one of a kind in the area under the direction of a PM&R specialist,” said Danielle Koons, regional vice president of market development, Pennsylvania, for Marquis Health Consulting Services, which supports Springfield. “And with the introduction of OrthoWIN, the center is bringing next-level skilled nursing care and programming to Delaware County, with the mission to transform the lives of those in their care.”

OrthoWIN, which includes the support of an interdisciplinary care team, caters to patients recovering from a range of orthopedic surgeries and injuries; it is ideal for individuals with co-morbidities and those without the social support to recover at home independently. PM&R, also known as Physiatry, focuses on the restoration of health and function with an integrated treatment plan including pain management and physical therapy. Under the leadership of Dr. Murphy, OrthoWIN’s “whole body” approach offers customized support to manage complex cases. Dr. Murphy possesses more than 35 years of experience in the medical field. He is affiliated with Crozer-Chester Medical Center.

Koons noted that OrthoWIN responds to a direct call from healthcare systems for this type of skilled nursing specialization. “Springfield’s goal is to help its area hospital partners address the growing volume of joint replacement care and fracture care patients who are unable to transition directly home following a surgery or injury,” she added.

Modern Facility, Progressive Care

Among the additional highlights of its renovation, Springfield’s reconstructed lobby evokes a warm, welcoming feel. Phase 1 highlights also include updates to patient rooms and nurses stations. Planning for Phase 2 improvements is well underway. Highlights will include a state-of-the-art dialysis unit.

Located at 463 West Sproul Road, Springfield Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center provides post-hospital care, short-term rehab and long-term residential care. It has earned a Five-Star Quality Measures rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The skilled nursing center is part of Springfield Enhanced Senior Living, which also includes Springfield Crossings, a personal care community. Together the campus offers 173 skilled nursing beds and personal care units. More information can be found at springfieldrehabhc.com.
