Psychologist - Ccc

Our Complex Continuing Care (CCC) team provides intensive in-patient rehabilitation services to clients who require complex physical and psychosocial care. Referrals include clients with musculoskeletal, developmental and neuromotor conditions, as well as new medical and mental health diagnoses, and sudden onset life-altering events including major trauma, oncology diagnoses, spinal cord injuries, and burns.
