Stroke Program |
Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital is a nationally acclaimed leader in stroke rehabilitation. |
A stroke is a brain attack. Although stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the United States, people of all ages are vulnerable. Strokes result in neurological diseases such as paralysis, sensory impairment, communication skills deficits, swallowing problems, and/or impeding a person’s ability to think. According to the American Stroke Association, approximately 700,000 people have new or repeat strokes each year.
Sunnyview’s reputation as the premier stroke rehabilitation program in the region is based on more than 40 years of excellence and measurable success. Using state-of-the-art therapy and an interdisciplinary approach to treatment, Sunnyview’s stroke program consistently helps people return to their homes and communities rather than to nursing facilities at rates exceeding national and regional averages.
The Stroke Program offers a comprehensive continuum of care to assist individuals to achieve their highest level of independent functioning in the home, community, academic, and employment settings. The continuum of care includes Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation, Outpatient Neurological Center, Day Rehabilitation Services, Driver Training Program, Constraint Induced Movement Therapy, Post-Stroke Support Group, Low Vision Program, and the Lifestyle Wellness Center.
