Abstract

This article examines the collaborative roles of nursing, physical therapy, dental hygiene, and laboratory science in enhancing the patient experience within rehabilitation settings. Each discipline contributes uniquely to the recovery journey: nursing offers consistent clinical and emotional support; physical therapy restores mobility and functional independence; dental hygiene safeguards oral health to prevent complications; and laboratory science provides diagnostic data that guides medical decision-making. The integration of these roles, supported by interdisciplinary teamwork, ensures holistic, patient-centered care. This collaboration not only improves health outcomes and patient satisfaction but also shortens recovery times and reduces complications. Emphasis is placed on the importance of communication and coordination among healthcare providers to optimize rehabilitation efforts and promote long-term well-being
