The StepForward Program is a comprehensive, structured program designed for individuals who have had amputations. It offers three care pathways – Inpatient Rehabilitation, Outpatient and Home Health – based on your needs.
An evaluation by a WakeMed physical therapist and occupational therapist, along with a review of your insurance plan, will help determine which StepForward option is right for you.
A physician referral is required for evaluation and can be submitted through EPIC or faxed to 919-350-8791. For more information about the WakeMed StepForward Program, please call WakeMed Rehab Admissions at 919-350-7876.
