Neurological Disorders

United Medical Rehabilitation Hospital understands that Neurological Rehabilitation is designed to meet the needs of each individual patient, depending on the specific problem or disease process. Active involvement of the patient and family is vital to the success of the rehabilitation process.

The goal of Neurological Rehabilitation is to help the patient return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life – physically, emotionally, and socially.
