Methodist Rehabilitation Hospital

Inpatient rehabilitation helps people who have experienced the debilitating effects of an acute injury, impairment, or illness such as stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, orthopedic injury, cardiovascular or pulmonary issues, neurological conditions, amputation, and trauma. The goal of inpatient rehabilitation is to get you back home quickly and help you achieve the best recovery possible.
