Founded in 1971, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston is one of the largest rehabilitation facilities in the United States and is ranked the 6th top rehabilitation hospital in the country by U.S. News & World Report. As the official teaching hospital of the Harvard Medical School Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), Spaulding is at the forefront of research in advances in rehabilitative care.
In April 2013, Spaulding will open a new 132-bed facility which is a national model for environmental and inclusive design. With a wide range of inpatient programs and 23 outpatient centers throughout Eastern Massachusetts, Spaulding strives to continually update and improve its programs to offer patients the latest, high-quality care through its leading, expert providers. Spaulding has been awarded a Model Systems designation in three specialty areas- Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury and Brain Injury Rehabilitation- by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research.
The Amputee Rehabilitation Program of the Spaulding Rehabilitation Network provides comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation for patients who have experienced limb loss. Spaulding offers expert care for the full continuum of rehabilitation needs including preoperative, acute postoperative, pre-prosthetic, prosthetic training, and long-term follow-up of individuals with upper and lower limb amputation. At every stage, our goal is to help patients maximize their functional independence, find emotional strength and confidence, and successfully transition back to home, work, and the community.
