Polytrauma Rehabilitation

What is polytrauma rehabilitation?

Polytrauma occurs when you experience more than one serious injury—often caused by a car accident, fall or another traumatic event. Recovery can be complex, but you don’t have to do it alone.

We provide hospital-level care designed specifically for people recovering from multiple injuries. Your treatment plan will be built around your needs, your injuries and your goals, using advanced therapies and technologies to support every aspect of your recovery.
