Community Rehabilitation Services
The Rehabilitation Center at University Health Care is the only organization in the Intermountain West accredited by CARF for specialty programs under Home- and Community-Based Rehabilitation Programs. Our Home- and Community-Based Rehabilitation Program accreditation includes program accreditations for 4 programs: for Adults, for Adolescents, for Spinal Cord System of Care for Adults and Spinal Cord System of Care for Adolescents. These accreditations can ensure you, our patients and families that the care you receive through the Rehabilitation Center is amongst the best in the nation.
Community Rehabilitation Services provides a unique integrated approach to intensive rehabilitation in your own home and community.
