espite his diagnosis of
Parkinson's disease in
2013, 90-year-old Harvey
Cleland has still been getting around and enjoying retirement.
Always very active, he owned Meyer's
Heating & Cooling business for some
50 years in Northwest Indiana. A Dyer
resident, he and wife Janet were back
home for the summer from Naples,
Florida, when he experienced a dizzy
spell that landed him in the hospital.
His systolic blood pressure had plummeted from 140 to 40, leaving him
lightheaded and unable to walk.
After inpatient care at
Community Hospital in Munster, Cleland
was ready for more intensive rehabilitation. He became the first patient at
Community Healthcare System's
specialty hospital in Crown Point.
"When I got here, I was in really
bad shape," Cleland says. "It's amazing the difference in care that I have
received through the hospitals of
Community Healthcare System compared with those in Florida. These
staff members are happy to be
here, and it shows in their attitude
and demeanor."

Community Stroke & Rehabilitation Center
is the newest addition to the Community
Healthcare System family. A specialty
hospital with a focus on inpatient rehabilitation, it represents the first of its
kind for the healthcare system. The hospital features a 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit on the third and fourth
floors, with dedicated activity and gym
space for therapy. The unit also houses
an area that mimics an apartment for
patients to practice the activities of daily
living in a supervised setting.
"Studies show that for patients like
Harvey who are recovering from stroke,
neurological conditions or joint

replacements, intensive inpatient
rehabilitation treatment can
result in better outcomes with
a shorter length of stay," says
Craig Bolda, administrator,
Community Stroke & Rehabilitation Center.

One Goal

Once the patient is settled in his or
her new surroundings, he or she is
evaluated by physical, occupational
and speech therapists to get a baseline
measurement to help determine the
plan of care, says physical medicine
and rehabilitation physician
