The HonorHealth difference
Where a person goes for treatment can make all the difference in their recovery. Studies1 show that those treated in a specialized rehabilitation hospital – like HonorHealth Rehabilitation Hospital – have greater improvement, fewer complications and return home sooner than patients at nursing facilities. We provide the comprehensive program of medical, nursing and therapy care that can make a difference in your recovery.

This inter-professional team is led by a physiatrist, a physician board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation and includes rehabilitation nurses; physical, occupational, speech and recreation therapists; dietitians; pharmacists; case managers and other clinical and support staff, as needed. .
In addition, your family members are an important part of the care team. They may be asked to participate in therapy sessions to understand your condition and how to help support you.
