Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital (HGMH) is expanding its Physiatry program to include outpatient consultations, increasing access to specialized rehabilitation care for residents of Glengarry and surrounding communities.
Physiatry is a medical specialty focused on improving function, mobility, and quality of life for individuals recovering from stroke, neurological injury, and other disabling conditions.
Since the fall of 2025, Physiatry services at HGMH have supported referred inpatients as part of the hospital’s commitment to enhancing rehabilitation and recovery services. Building on the success of that program, patients can now be referred for outpatient consultations with Dr. Jacqueline Cochrane, a specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with advanced training in stroke rehabilitation and spasticity management.
Many patients continue to face challenges long after being discharged from hospitals following a stroke or neurological injury. Physiatry services help identify barriers to recovery and develop individualized treatment plans to maximize independence and participation in daily life.
The expansion of Physiatry services is another example of HGMH’s ongoing commitment to bringing specialized healthcare services closer to home and improving access to care for the communities it serves.
Referrals are accepted from physicians and nurse practitioners for patients with OHIP or RAMQ coverage.
