Spinal cord injury rehabilitation
Following the admission process, patients are thoroughly evaluated to prepare for their course of rehabilitative treatment.Using an interdisciplinary team approach, clinical experts identify the needs and goals of each spinal cord injury patient. The team then creates an individualized program that is monitored daily and updated regularly to further support the patient’s goals to return to a maximum level of independence.
Our spinal cord rehabilitation treatment plans use advanced technologies, treatments and resources to support each patient's understanding and adjustment to their unique capabilities and needs.
We provide targeted spinal cord injury programs to give patients the extra care to help them achieve their greatest outcomes. This level of care requires additional program features to benefit the patients, which may include:

- Discharge planning with your case manager to identify community resources and home assessments
- Family and caregivers as an integral part of a patient’s care plan
