Oak Cliff residents who need physical therapy now have local access to Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation services with the opening of its Kessler Park outpatient clinic.
Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation's 49th North Texas outpatient clinic is located in a remodeled building at 222 E. Colorado Blvd., at the intersection of Colorado and Zang boulevards.
"This location allows access for the Kessler Park and surrounding areas to the quality of Baylor Rehab outpatient services. We feel that convenient locations are vital to good therapy outcomes, and this location will allow those communities to receive their skilled therapy close to where they live and work," said PJ Gillard, PT, vice president of outpatient services. "We are also very happy to be a part of the development in that area and are very pleased with the way our updated building contributes to the look of the neighborhood."
The new facility opens Monday, Nov. 17. In addition, Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation will open two more outpatient clinics this year, pushing the total number of locations to more than 50.
