When PAM Rehabilitation Hospital of Dover<\/a> opened recently, it addressed an important need in the local community. It is the only freestanding medical rehabilitation hospital in Dover, and it provides comprehensive care for patients who have medical issues including stroke, brain or spinal cord injury, neurological disease, or orthopedic conditions.<\/p>\n Dr. Kirill Alekseyev, American University of Antigua (AUA) College of Medicine Class of 2014, was recruited as the medical director of the hospital a year ago and started his new position in October.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to be part of building this hospital from scratch when it serves such an important role in Dover and the state as a whole,\u201d said Dr. Alekseyev. \u201cThere is a high demand for physicians in Delaware, period. But there\u2019s an especially high demand for acute rehabilitation facilities. And our hospital directly addresses that demand.\u201d<\/p>\n PAM Rehabilitation Hospital of Dover offers 34 private rooms and specialized services, such as wound care, prosthetic training, and in-room dialysis. Therapy services include physical therapy, speech language pathology, occupational therapy, and rehabilitation nursing.<\/p>\n After graduating from AUA, Dr. Alekseyev completed his residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York.<\/p>\n
