What Sets Us Apart?
UR Medicine’s Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Program is the most established rehabilitation program in the region.
The department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation gained accreditation from CARF (Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) and the Magnet Recognition Program (the gold standard of nursing), becoming the first of its kind in upstate New York to be integrated directly with both a Level 1 Trauma Center and a Joint Commission-certified Comprehensive Stroke Center. These designations reflect higher patient satisfaction and better patient outcomes.
As part of a leading academic medical center, we track our patients’ results, including functional improvement, level of satisfaction, and return to home. Our results rank among the highest in New York State.
