OLBH’s Human Motion OrthoCare unit is dedicated exclusively to the care of injuries to tendons, ligaments, joints, bones, muscles and spines. OrthoCare offers patients a nursing and clinical staff that has specialized training in caring for musculoskeletal disorders.

The new unit is located on the hospital’s fourth floor. “By combining Human Motion specialists in orthopedics, neurosurgery and rehabilitative medicine with a new dedicated wing of the hospital in which to provide their services, patients have more reasons to trust Human Motion at OLBH for their orthopedic care,” Donna McKenzie, RN, MSN, OLBH’s orthopedic service line leader, said.

Human Motion OrthoCare consists of sixteen private rooms, each equipped to meet orthopedic needs by including such items as continuous passive motion machines, traction and trapeze devices on the beds and accessible assistive devices such as canes and walkers. The unit contains a mini-gym for group physical therapy and rehab.
