Our Rehabilitation Team
Medical Rehabilitation relies heavily on the human touch and on the partnership that forms between patient and caregiver. Our patients have the confidence of knowing that their dedicated rehabilitation team offers the optimal combination of medical care, therapeutic intervention, and support. Many of our nurses and therapists have more than 20 years of experience in rehabilitation and hold specialty certifications in their areas of expertise. Our patients benefit from the coordinated efforts of an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team focused on getting patients home and back to their lives.
