Inpatient Rehabilitation
When you stay in the hospital after an amputation, hip fracture, or stroke, you’ll receive physician care and rehabilitation services. Your rehabilitation program at our inpatient Rehabilitation Center will include three hours of daily therapy to help you recover as much function and movement as possible. Your family member or caregiver also will receive training to help after you leave the hospital.
