North Miami

St. Catherine’s Rehabilitation Hospital is a 22-bed state-of-the-art medical facility designed for patients who can benefit from intensive rehabilitation in an interdisciplinary hospital setting.

An injury or illness may lead to disabilities however, through specialized medical rehabilitation, many patients regain function and learn or improve skills that can compensate for lost abilities.

The St. Catherine’s Rehabilitation Team works with one important goal in mind; to design a program individualized for each patient that helps them to achieve their maximum level of functional independence and return to the community as quickly as possible.

Our specialized rehabilitation programs are designed to meet the needs of individuals who have a broad range of acute or chronic illness that cause temporary or permanent disability. Our programs combine medical care with rehabilitation services to help re-establish the functional, physical, cognitive and behavioral skills required to live as independently as possible. Physical, occupational, speech and respiratory therapies will be provided, as well as physician supervision and round-the-clock nursing care.
