Our experienced and knowledgeable physiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other health professionals are chosen as much for their compassion as they are for their skill. They are trained in the latest rehabilitation techniques and develop a customized treatment plan to speed up recovery, decrease pain and return you to your daily activities.

And for your convenience, we offer easy-to-access rehabilitation centers throughout Long Island, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island and Westchester. Each location features state-of-the-art technology that helps the staff evaluate and treat each injury, as well as track your progress.

Our outpatient rehabilitation departments partner with Operation Walk USA, a humanitarian program that provides hip or knee replacement surgeries to people who don't qualify for government assistance programs and can't afford surgery on their own. Services are donated by both our inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities.

The Rehabilitation Network is involved in Stepping On, a free fall and injury-prevention program that focuses on simple and fun balance and strength training.

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF International) is an independent, nonprofit accrediting agency of health and human services including medical rehabilitation. CARF accreditation provides a visible symbol that assures the public of a provider’s commitment to enhancing the quality of services and programs with a focus on recovery goals and outcomes. It also gives providers peace of mind that they are referring patients to the best available program.

Our inpatient medical rehabilitation program at Staten Island University Hospital is CARF-accredited.
