Healing and Recovery for a Wide Variety of Aquired Injuries and Illnesses
Body
The rehabilitation course for patients with nerve, muscle and bone conditions requires precise medical and nursing expertise, sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic tools, and knowledgeable support. Patients in this Innovation Center have diagnoses including: general disability; post-surgical debility; burn; cancer (e.g., lymphoma); transplant; Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD); peripheral neuropathy; fracture, major orthopedic conditions; primary muscle disorders (e.g., muscular dystrophy); primary joint disorders (e.g. arthritis); and back/spine disorders.
Aggregating patients with such conditions in a unified care and research structure attracts a high volume of patients with varying medical complexity. This depth and breadth of experience continuously sharpens our skill and expertise in facilitating the recovery process.
