Acute Rehabilitation
Patients who require long term care following a traumatic injury, debilitating
disease or life-altering surgery may require specific therapies to help
them heal before returning home. Acute Rehabilitation encompasses a variety
of physical and mental therapies to target your specific needs. During
this intermediary recovery time before returning home, you can receive
these therapies as an inpatient in the hospital setting.
