St. Luke’s University Health Network has acute rehabilitation units in its Bethlehem, Sacred Heart, and Monroe County hospitals. The units are ideal for patients when they are ready to be discharged from the hospital but not quite well enough to return home. As a result, they provide a seamless transition for patients who have experienced a catastrophic illness or injury and need an intense level of therapy. By being located in the hospitals, patients may access the emergency response team, if needed, as well as specialists in nearly every field of medicine.

The units offer a full spectrum of rehabilitation services. A team of physicians, therapists, nurses, and social workers coach patients through various therapies that enable them to recover skills and live as independently as possible.

Conditions treated include brain injury, stroke, complex joint replacements, amputation, multiple traumatic injuries, neurological disorders, movement disorders, and spinal cord injury.
