Recovering from a debilitating illness or injury starts with the right roadmap to assure your return to health and independent living. The first step is choosing the best rehabilitation care: Southern New England Rehabilitation Center.

We’ve helped thousands of people return home following a disabling illness, traumatic injury or orthopedic surgery. As part of St. Joseph Hospital for Specialty Care in Providence and an affiliate of Rhode Island Hospital, we deliver the highest quality care with unmatched compassion. Our dedication has made us the region’s leader in rehabilitation care and services.

A Brief Overview

In 1995, the Rehabilitation Units at Rhode Island Hospital and St. Joseph Hospital combined to create the Southern New England Rehabilitation Center. Now a center of excellence for comprehensive rehabilitation services, we’ve helped thousands of people return to their homes following a disabling illness, injury or orthopedic surgery.

The Center’s skilled staff of over 100 professionals provides a full range of coordinated rehabilitative care. Our clinical expertise and compassion make a big difference as we develop first-rate plans of care for the unique needs of each patient. Our medical staff is comprised of physicians board-certified in rehabilitation medicine and internal medicine.

Our 27-bed center offers inpatient restorative programs for people who have experienced serious injury or illness that limits their abilities to function in everyday settings. Unlike a general hospital, our unique facility is dedicated, first and foremost, to meeting rehabilitation needs. Because each patient is unique, we make sure treatment plans suit each person’s specific needs.

The Center’s medical director is a member of the clinical faculty of Boston University, Brown University and Tufts University. The Center’s clinical research is widely published, and we maintain over a dozen academic affiliations to help train rehabilitation professionals. Our annual conference on disabilities is regionally recognized.

Additionally, we support and sponsor educational events with community organizations, including the American Stroke Association, Multiple Sclerosis Society, Brain Injury Association of RI and the Arthritis Foundation.
