Uninterrupted Care After Complex Injury and Illness at Shepherd Center

A one-stop shop for the outpatient management of medical conditions following a complex injury or illness 

The Rehabilitation Medicine Clinic is a specialized outpatient clinic at Shepherd Center equipped to manage the ongoing needs of those recovering from their conditions' physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms.

Whether discharged directly from an acute care setting or a comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation program, patients and their families commonly need access to longer-term care, depending on the nature of the condition and anticipated functional outcomes.

While some patients may need ongoing care management, others may benefit from periodic follow-ups to anticipate and treat secondary health conditions like neuropathic pain or other factors impacting the quality of life, such as returning to work.

As a patient at our rehabilitation medicine clinic, you can access a specialized, interdisciplinary care team of physiatrists who collaborate to design a tailored, evidence-based treatment plan based on the initial course of treatment and how the condition has developed over time. With specialists and care services housed in a single clinic, we can focus on what is best for the patient while making it easy to consult, evaluate, and follow up on care quickly.
