Latrobe Area Hospital will debut a new outpatient rehabilitation center in Norvelt with an open house 3-6 p.m. Dec. 10. Refreshments and tours will be available.
Located in the Hurst Professional Building along Route 981, the center offers outpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language therapy. A gym features the equipment necessary to help people grow stronger, healthier and more capable after an illness or injury.
With the addition of Norvelt, Latrobe Area Hospital now provides outpatient services in four convenient locations including Latrobe, Blairsville and Mountain View, where Incwell, the hospital's occupational health service, is located.
The Norvelt office will be open 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekdays, with evening and Saturday hours as demand dictates.
The tree will be displayed as part of the Parade of Trees in the hotel's main lobby through Jan. 4.
Hospice is a program of support and care for people with terminal illness who choose to be at home. For information about the program or placing a name on the tree, call volunteer coordinator Joan Roth at 724-689-1153.
