TeleRehab: One piece of the puzzle
Due to the common immunosuppression of our patients coupled with the “Shelter in Place” order, TeleRehab is the optimum solution for breast cancer survivors in need of rehabilitation. After pilot testing evaluations and treatments, TurningPoint is confident in translating our clinical skills into TeleRehab. We have been treating people with success via TeleRehab since the end of March 2020. All you need is a device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone) that has a camera and audio. We can contact your physician for your referral. We are also able to treat any patient in Georgia (and in a few other states as well). TurningPoint is currently working on a project to reach rural Georgia. TeleRehab allows us to reach more people since there is not a need to come into the clinic. If you know of any breast cancer patients (regardless of state) who can benefit from TeleRehab, please have them reach out to us HERE or call our office at 770-360-9271.
