Yo!?
I had someone ask me if there are any hospitals who offer Orientation and Mobility services as part of their treatment and care. The first thing I thought of was the VA but I¡¯m not sure if other hospitals have Mobility specialist on staff-what say you do you know of any and, if so, where are they located?
