Mercy Center for Rehabilitative Medicine

Mercy Center for Rehabilitative Medicine (MCRM) is a 14-bed inpatient rehabilitation department designed to rehabilitate and restore independence to adult patients with neurological disorders, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, amputations, strokes and other impairments, such as muscular disorders, joint replacement surgery and fracture care. Other non-rehabilitation diagnoses are also considered on a case-by-case basis including those who are recovering from acute respiratory failure, cardiac failure or cancer.

At MCRM, we understand that patients want to return to their homes and communities and be able to lead full, satisfying lives. Our mission is to maximize each individual’s potential through the promotion of health, healing and wellness. Additionally, we strive to provide patients with the physical, social, emotional, vocational and recreational skills needed to reach the highest possible quality of life.
