Inpatient Medical Rehabilitation
Select Medical's highly regarded rehabilitation hospitals provide comprehensive physical medicine and rehabilitation programs and services that optimize patient health, function and quality of life. Within supportive and dynamic care environments, the organization's expert rehabilitation teams offer advanced treatment and state-of-the-science technologies, all of which are tailored to each patient's unique needs and goals. Comprehensive care addresses the medical, physical, emotional and vocational challenges of individuals with brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, amputation, neurological disorders, orthopedic conditions and multiple traumas. Specialized and intensive programs of care are designed to restore strength, improve physical and cognitive function, and promote independence in activities of daily living.
From Pennsylvania to Texas, the Select Medical network of rehabilitation hospitals includes several care locations, including the nationally renowned Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in New Jersey.
