New Acute Inpatient Rehab Center is now open

Our new rehab unit in Hillsborough has 40 spacious, all-private patient rooms.

Other features include: a large interdisciplinary gym with open and natural lighting, incredible views of Hillsborough’s surrounding natural environment, a transitional living apartment, a family dining area and lounge, and recreational therapy spaces. The interdisciplinary health care team consists of rehabilitation physicians (physiatrists) and psychologists, as well as colleagues from other departments such as rehabilitation nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, recreational therapists, and clinical care managers. The center assists patients with a wide variety of diagnoses, conditions, and injuries. Our Hillsborough facility includes Virtual/Augmented Reality therapy, a Rehab Maker Space with 3-D printers, and the Hillsborough Hospitals’ Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. This new center is an ideal place for patients to improve their functional abilities so that they may return home and thrive in their community.
