Rehabilitation

Our rehabilitation programs help people regain or improve abilities they may have lost following an illness or injury.

We offer in-hospital rehabilitation for patients who are staying with us, and outpatient rehabilitation for people who can travel to the hospital for their rehabilitation session. The types of rehabilitation we offer are:

In-Hospital

• Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit
  Intensive, short-term rehabilitation in-hospital.
