Our patients share a common challenge - to reach a new level of self reliance. Physicians, therapists and nurses trained in specialty areas such as spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, general neurological conditions, hand injuries, lymphedema and voice disorders provide care to patients with the ultimate goal of returning them to home or a home-like setting.

The Center is dedicated to helping individuals regain independence they have lost through injury or disease, and to educate healthcare professionals. Rehabilitation patients share a common challenge - to reach an optimum level of self reliance. The Center acknowledges its responsibility to conduct research to benefit individuals with functional disabilities, who have the same rights and needs as able-bodied persons but require specialized services to achieve their highest levels of self sufficiency.
