Life-altering, medically complex injuries or conditions such as
limb loss or amputation
may require daily, round-the-clock rehabilitation care before you return home from a hospital stay.
Recognition
U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Hospitals” ranks Rusk Rehabilitation among the top 5 hospitals in the U.S. for rehabilitation.
At NYU Langone’s Rusk Rehabilitation at Tisch Hospital, we are dedicated to providing the highest level of individualized care you need to achieve your recovery goals.
A physiatrist—a doctor who specializes in rehabilitation medicine—is at the helm of your rehabilitation team. Along with our other experts, including physical and occupational therapists, he or she works to customize a treatment plan for you while you are in the hospital. We take into consideration not only your medical and physical needs but also your personal wishes so the program is truly yours.
Our rehabilitation nursing team—including a nurse manager, a primary registered nurse (RN), and a patient care technician (PCN)—cares for you 24 hours a day and helps you prepare for therapy sessions.
Conditions We Treat
Our rehabilitation experts work with people who have been hospitalized with
pulmonary conditions
and
cardiac conditions
and require 24-hour care. These specialists also see people who need access to multiple services because they have had medically complex procedures such as amputations,
face transplants
,
heart transplants
,
lung transplants
,
kidney transplants
,
liver transplants
, and
bone marrow transplants
.
