Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation
A spinal cord injury can change your life in the blink of an eye. In an instant, you could lose some or all of your physical function and independence.
Good Shepherd Penn Partners (GSPP) will begin accepting individuals with spinal cord injuries in 2009 and will offer comprehensive inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation care to survivors of spinal cord injury. Good Shepherd Penn Partners is dedicated to helping you regain as much function and independence as possible following a spinal cord injury.
Good Shepherd Penn Partners offers three levels of care tailored to your individual needs through every step of your rehabilitation.
After leaving the hospital, a survivor of a spinal cord injury may be too fragile to go home or to a rehabilitation facility. The physicians and staff at Good Shepherd Penn Partners Specialty Hospital at Rittenhouse can provide the additional level of care that is needed at this stage of your rehabilitation.
Once you are medically stable, intensive inpatient spinal cord injury rehabilitation is provided at the Penn Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine. Here, survivors of spinal cord injury receive three hours of physical, speech or occupational therapy each day.
Following your inpatient rehabilitation, you may benefit from further outpatient care at GSPP Penn Therapy & Fitness. Eight convenient locations are found throughout the Philadelphia region.
