St. Luke appoints new rehab department’s assistant director

St. Luke Health Services announced a growth in staff with the appointment of Teall Karn as assistant director of the rehabilitation therapy department.

Karn is a graduate of Keuka College with a master’s degree in occupational therapy, who brings her extensive clinical experience in both short-term and long term rehabilitation services in the skilled nursing setting to the Oswego-based provider.

“As assistant director I will work to ensure that our therapy team delivers high quality, holistic services to our patients,” said Karn. “As a licensed occupational therapist I will draw upon my experience to focus services on maximizing our patient’s ability to reach their individual goals of improving or maintaining their ability to perform daily activities.”    

“Teall is person-centered and results-driven in her treatment philosophy, and her advanced skills and experience provide an important component to our rehab program,” said physical therapist Chuck Besa, rehabilitation program director at St. Luke, said
