The rehabilitation team employs a transdisciplinary approach to the rehabilitation process that addresses the medical, physical, cognitive, neuropsychological, and family needs of the patient.  Working together, physicians, therapists, and nurses develop individualized courses of treatment to help each patient set and reach practical, patient-focused goals.

 


 

Physicians

 

Day-to-day medical care is closely coordinated by physicians who meet regularly with the rehabilitation team to discuss the patient's progress and direct his or her program. Physicians specializing in internal medicine attend to the patient's general medical needs, optimizing his or her potential for recovery of function. When appropriate, consultations in other medical specialties are obtained. The referring physician may provide oversight of the patient's treatment or invite a physician specializing in rehabilitation, a Physiatrist, to attend. The Medical Director oversees admission and care of all patients.
