Celtic Healthcare has recently begun serving the Fayette County area - and now, Celtic Healthcare can officially call Fayette County home!

Due to the demand of Celtic Healthcare's wide array of home healthcare services in the Fayette area, Celtic Healthcare has recently opened up a regional Perryopolis office.  This office is to serve an administrative and support function to the growing field team in the Fayette area.

In addition to the Perryopolis office, Celtic Healthcare recently opened a Canonsburg office at the end of January 2009.  Both of these locations will help Celtic Healthcare play a larger role in the Mon Valley area.

Headquartered in Mars, PA, Celtic Healthcare is known for its commitment to the western Pennsylvania, central Pennsylvania, and northeast Ohio regions - and for its dedication and service to the individual communities they serve.

"Growing up in the Fayette region myself, I have a sincere and deeply-rooted need to serve this area with the utmost quality and extraordinary customer service," says Celtic Healthcare CEO Arnie Burchianti.  "Opening this Fayette office is a true testament of how much we love these communities - and that we are here to stay, serve, and support."

April is Occupational Therapy Month!

Celtic Healthcare would like to honor Occupational Therapy Month through education.  Occupational therapy enables people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, prevent - or live better with - injury, illness, or disability.  It is a practice deeply rooted in science and is evidence-based, meaning that the plan designed for each individual is supported by data, experience, and best practices that have been developed and proven over time.

Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Assistants focus on “doing” whatever occupations or activities are meaningful to the individual.  It is occupational therapy’s purpose to get beyond problems to the solutions that assure living life to its fullest.  These solutions may be adaptations for how to do a task, changes to the surroundings, or helping individuals to alter their own behaviors.

When working with an Occupational Therapy Practitioner, strategies and modifications are customized for each individual to resolve problems, improve function, and support everyday living activities.  The goal is to maximize potential. Through these therapeutic approaches, occupational therapy helps individuals design their lives, develop needed skills, adjust their environments (e,g., home, school, or work) and build health-promoting habits and routines that will allow them to thrive.

By taking the big picture into account - a person’s psychological, physical, emotional, and social makeup as well as their environment - occupational therapy assists clients to do the following:

•       Achieve goals
•       Function at the highest possible level
•       Concentrate on what matters most to them
•       Maintain or rebuild their independence
•       Participate in daily activities that they need or want to do

Thank you, Celtic Healthcare Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Assistants, for your dedication to our patients and clients.  Your creativity, perseverance, and medical knowledge set you apart! 

Please join us in honoring all clinicians practicing occupational therapy during the month of April.
