If their goal is not 100% recovery for those neurological injuries what the hell are they there for? Everything in stroke is a complete failure and only fixable by having survivors in charge.
Shirley Ryan AbilityLab plans outpatient rehabilitation clinic in Arlington Heights - Formerly known as the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago
Shirley Ryan AbilityLab plans to open a
daytime outpatient rehabilitation clinic on the north side of Arlington
Heights to provide treatment to those recovering from neurological
injuries.
The 14,786-square-foot clinic would be within
the Arlington Ridge Office Center at 3215 N. Wilke Road. If approved by
the village, it would offer daily three-hour therapy sessions during
mornings and afternoons, officials said.
Formerly known as the
Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab conducts
inpatient rehabilitation at its main campus in downtown Chicago and
operates a series of outpatient and day rehabilitation programs
throughout the city and suburbs.
The new Arlington Heights clinic
represents the relocation of a day rehab center from another
municipality, but officials did not say which town. According to its
website, Shirley Ryan operates day rehab centers in Elk Grove Village,
Wheeling, Glenview, Burr Ridge, Homewood and Chicago.
The day rehab centers treat those
who may have experienced stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, or
have multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease. Patients also include
those recently discharged from the hospital, with treatment focusing on
helping them return to functional independence(NOT GOOD ENOUGH, 100% recovery is the goal, not this tyranny of low expectations.), Shirley Ryan officials
said.
In Arlington Heights, the rehab
center has proposed construction of a 17-foot-tall canopy above the main
entrance to provide a protected drop-off and pickup area for patients
in inclement weather. Most patients arrive by medical transport service,
with up to five vans expected each during morning and afternoon
sessions, according to the project description.

At the rehab center's request,
the village board during an online conference meeting last week granted a
rare proceed-at-own-risk permit. That will allow interior renovations
to proceed in lieu of the village board's final approval for a land use
variation, as well as variations for parking and canopy height.
The
project was unanimously recommended for approval by the plan commission
Feb. 26 and was set to be reviewed by village trustees March 16, but
that meeting was canceled amid concerns related to the coronavirus
pandemic.
A formal review still will be scheduled, village officials said.
