Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Services
Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Services are provided by healthcare professionals who are focused on helping patients after surgery, acute illness or injury. Partnering with Memorial Neuroscience Center’s physicians and nurses, this multidisciplinary team works to help patients reach optimal health, functional independence and quality of life. In addition, Family-Centered Care approach emphasizes the role of family in the rehabilitation of a patient and therefore includes educational programs for patients and their loved ones.
