Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit 

The rehabilitation department is an 18-bed unit, capable of accommodation bariatric patients, providing a minimum of three hours of multi-disciplinary treatment each day.  The department is designed to increase patient independence and safety transition them back to the community discharge.

We offer a team approach, led by a physiatrist, which allows us to closely monitor the patient's progress to help maximize program effectiveness.
