Intermountain Health's American Fork specialty clinic continues to offer specialized medical services through its wound care and physical therapy departments, providing advanced treatments for chronic conditions and rehabilitative care at its 98 North 1100 East location.
Advanced Wound Care Services
The Wound Care Clinic at the American Fork facility focuses on accelerating the healing of chronic wounds to improve patient quality of life. According to Intermountain Health, chronic wounds are a significant health concern in the United States, with approximately 8 million people living with such conditions—a figure that exceeds the combined number of people living with breast, colon, and lung cancers.
These persistent wounds often stem from diseases like diabetes, which can negatively affect blood circulation. The clinic also notes that chronic wounds are frequently observed in individuals who are bedridden or utilize wheelchairs. To address these complex needs, the wound care team utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, which may include doctors, physical therapists, wound care specialty nurses, and other medical experts to provide advanced treatments designed to manage troublesome wounds.
Comprehensive Rehabilitation Options
The Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation department at the American Fork clinic provides a wide array of specialized rehabilitative services. The clinic's offerings include orthopedic and sports physical therapy, neurological and stroke rehabilitation, and cancer rehabilitation. For patients recovering from surgery or injury, the department also provides post-operative rehabilitation.
Beyond standard physical therapy, the facility offers targeted treatments such as hand therapy and splinting, pelvic floor therapy, vestibular therapy, and speech therapy. The clinic's scope of care also extends to occupational health and work injury rehabilitation, ensuring that patients dealing with the effects of disease, illness, or physical trauma have access to specialized recovery programs.
Virtual and On-Demand Care
Intermountain Health has implemented digital health solutions through its Connect Care program to increase accessibility for physical therapy patients. The clinic offers scheduled virtual visits, which allow patients to replace some or all of their in-person appointments with remote sessions. This service is designed to ensure continuity of care while allowing patients to manage joint and muscle pain from the comfort of their homes.
Additionally, the clinic provides an on-demand service known as Connect Care Physical Therapy. This option allows patients to receive urgent care for muscle strains, aches, and pains by connecting with a board-certified physical therapist within minutes. These virtual and hybrid options are intended to provide highly accessible treatment pathways for both new and existing patients.
