🙌🏻 April is National Occupational Therapy Month! 🥳

Occupational therapy (OT) in a hospital setting focuses on helping patients regain the skills they need for everyday life after an illness, injury, or surgery. The core idea is addressing function—making sure people can safely and independently do the activities that matter.

This typically includes:
✔️Assessing daily living skills such as bathing, dressing, eating, and mobility.
✔️Restoring function through therapeutic exercises, cognitive retraining, and activity‑based interventions.
✔️Recommending adaptive equipment like grab bars, walkers, or specialized utensils.
✔️Modifying tasks or environments so patients can perform activities safely.
✔️Preparing for next site of care by determining whether a patient can return home, needs home health services, DayRehab or Outpatient rehabilitation.

OT helps bridge the gap between medical recovery and functional independence. 💪🏻

Please join us in recognizing and celebrating this amazing team! 🤩👏🏻

💙Today is , a day that shines a light on child abuse prevention and the vital role we play at Silver Cross in KEEPING CHILDREN SAFE – the ones we care for every day and the ones we may never see….

At Silver Cross, being a SAFE HAVEN is part of who we are!

Under Illinois law:
An unharmed newborn 30 days old or younger can be safely relinquished at any hospital or fire department, including Silver Cross.

There are no questions, no names, and no penalties. Just safety. Just compassion. Just a chance for a new beginning. Every baby brought to us receives immediate medical care, gentle hands, and a SAFE start toward a hopeful future.

📣TOGETHER, we can spread the word in our community! Nathan Collins, our Senior Information Security Architect, proudly shares with us photos from CASA of River Valley's "Plant Pinwheels" event yesterday. The event honored the 500 children they served from Will and Grundy Counties while in foster care last year. Nathan's wife, Melanie, is the Program Director.

SILVER CROSS IS A PLACE OF SAFETY, COMPASSION, AND HOPE – FOR EVERY CHILD.
