Officials cut a ribbon marking the opening of The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago at Franciscan Alliance comprehensive outpatient therapy clinic, located at the Franciscan Physician Network-St. John Health Center, 10860 Maple Lane. The clinic, which is the only one of its kind in Northwest Indiana, will begin seeing patients in early February and focus on the treatment of functional impairments related to neurological deficits caused by such diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, brain injuries or the aftereffects of a stroke. It also will treat amputees and patients having other impairments, due to work-related injuries that require multiple therapies (physical, outpatient and speech therapy).
