The Center for Acute Rehabilitation at PAMC is a comprehensive rehabilitation program to treat patients with debilitating injuries or illness. The goal of our rehabilitation program is to help patients return to the highest level of physical function. Family members and significant others receive extensive education and training and are encouraged to observe and participate in treatment. Our Case Manager/Social Worker also ensures that patients understand everything about their hospital stay and coordinate discharge needs for a smooth transition back home.
The Center offers treatment for all major disabling conditions including spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, multiple trauma, burns, neurological disorders, arthritis, and orthopedic problems.
The Acute Rehabilitation Program at PAMC is a CARF accredited comprehensive program with one purpose: help patients who have suffered a debilitating injury regain physical function and return home as quickly a possible. This video shows how our CARE TEAM makes it happen.
