Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals
Erin Connelly, MSOT, OTR/L, is an outpatient Post-COVID occupational therapist who works as part of a multidisciplinary team that helps guide research focused on the treatment and assessment of patients who are Post-COVID in order to discover best practices and improve treatments in the future. While she carries an outpatient case load of individuals with progressive neurological diseases, orthopedic and other injuries, her primary emphasis is on the Post-COVID population. A major aspect of her work is educating patients and their families on compensatory strategies to be successful in returning to their life roles at their highest level of independence. She has valuable experience collaborating with teams of nurses, social workers, case managers, physicians, physical therapists, speech therapists and psychologists to help ensure the best medical treatment plan for the patients served at Madonna.
