Skills for the Job of Living
Occupational Therapists work with people whose lives have been interrupted by illness, injury, developmental disability and aging to develop or restore independence with everyday tasks at home, at work and at play.
At Nemaha County Hospital, the Occupational Therapist will evaluate your needs and desires. Together, you will determine specific goals. Then a program will be developed just for you that is designed to increase your independence, safety and confidence.
