Inpatients: Simply make the request to your nurse or physician at any time during your hospitalization.
If your nurse or physician approves you for the therapy, they will submit a request to the Integrative Therapist in your unit/clinic. If an Integrative Therapist is not available, a request will be faxed to Rehab Services and an available therapist will be dispatched.
