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
