Beebe Medical Center Names New Director of Physical Rehab
12/10/08
Beebe Medical Center announces that licensed physical therapist Graham Robbins, PT, will take over as Director for Beebe Physical Rehabilitation effective December 18 when Director Mark Blaskey, PT, retires.
He will assume overall responsibility for physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech pathology services at the Beebe Medical Center's main campus in Lewes, at the Baylis Rehabilitation Center in the Bookhammer Outpatient Center, located at the Beebe Health Campus on Route 24 in Rehoboth Beach, and rehabilitation services for Beebe Home Health and at outpatient clinics in Millsboro and Millville.
Mr. Robbins, who has been with Beebe Medical Center since 1997, currently manages The Baylis Rehabilitation Center. He earned his master's in physical therapy in 1995 from Hahnemann University in Philadelphia, and then worked as a traveling therapist in facilities in New Mexico, Virginia and Wisconsin. Since he joined Beebe Medical Center, he has worked with patients in the hospital, at Lewes Convalescent Center and through Beebe Home Health. He also has worked with patients at the outpatient facilities in Millville and Millsboro.
Everyone has been so accepting and helpful throughout all my transitions to different locations and different positions at Beebe he says. While I expect the duties of the director to be quite challenging, I anticipate the transition to be made smooth by all the caring staff at Beebe Medical Center.
Mr. Robbins lives in Milford with his wife Eva and their three children.
Mr. Blaskey joined Beebe Medical Center in 1995 when the Baylis Rehabilitation Center, named after Norman B. and Helen Baylis, was opened at the hospital's Savannah Road location. The center consisted of two, part-time therapists and two physical therapy aides. In 2003, the Beebe Health Campus was opened and part of the physical rehabilitation services was moved to that location. In 2006, The Baylis Rehabilitation Center was officially relocated and rededicated at the Beebe Health Campus. Today, the Rehabilitation Services Department has a team of more than 50 healthcare professionals providing therapy services at multiple sites throughout the community.
