FAQ

What is post-acute care?

Short-term rehabilitation—or post-acute, transitional care—helps patients regain strength and relieve pain while recovering from a health event, such as a hospital stay for an illness, injury or surgery.  Available as inpatient or outpatient services, the goal of short-term rehabilitation is to help you get back to your routine quickly.
