Athletico Palos Heights provides the community quality care and convenience through the following means:

   •  Patient outcomes reporting using a third-party outcomes system to provide measurable data on a patient’s progression that is discussed throughout the course of treatment

   •  Patient satisfaction reporting throughout treatment in order to better understand and respond to patient needs while they are still receiving rehabilitation services, rather than after a patient is discharged. Results show that 98% of our patients would recommend us to their friends and family.

   •  Convenient hours including early mornings, evenings, and Saturdays

   •  Prompt scheduling of each initial evaluation within 24-48 hours of the patient’s phone call

   •  Ongoing patient education on diagnosis, treatment plans, and prescribed home-exercise programs

   •  Clear, consistent communication between therapist, physician, and patient regarding progress
