The Rehabilitation Unit

The Rehabilitation Unit offers specialized care by a team of rehabilitation physicians, nurses, social workers and therapists. Our staff, facilities and equipment are geared to treat problems related to mobility, self-care, communication, swallowing, memory and thinking that result from stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, amputation and other orthopedic and neuromuscular conditions.

The primary goal of rehabilitation is to help patients regain physical, psychological, and social functioning. This includes recovering old skills as well as learning new ways to accomplish everyday tasks. The rehabilitation team will work with each patient and their family to develop individual treatment programs that will maximize each patient’s potential and enable him/her to achieve the greatest independence possible.
