About Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital

Our Mission Statement

We are dedicated to serving individuals and their families whose lives can be enhanced through physical or cognitive rehabilitation. We continually strive for excellence by providing care and services which are valued by those we serve and by contributing to the community through education, research and prevention of disability. More frequently than ever before, Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital is being chosen by patients and their families as their destination for recovery.

A Brief History

Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital was built on this site in 1902 as the country division of Rush Hospital. Our primary work at that time was to care for patients with tuberculosis. We continued to treat patients with tuberculosis and other respiratory illnesses until 1960, when our emphasis shifted to geriatric medicine. In 1970, we merged with Bryn Mawr Hospital and became a center of rehabilitative medicine, pioneering programs for people who experience the effects of brain injury, orthopedic problems, and accidents, neurological disorders and spinal cord injury.

Today, Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital is the largest and most comprehensive rehabilitation services organization in the Mid-Atlantic region. We provide a broad range of programs at every level of care including inpatient, outpatient and day treatment.

Programs are offered for individuals with conditions such as brain injury, stroke, orthopedic injuries, spinal cord disorders, multiple sclerosis, amputations, arthritis, Parkinson's disease and chronic pain. We also offer specialized services such as aquatic therapy, Driver Rehab, work hardening, Assistive Technology Center, a Parkinson's disease Program and a Vestibular (Balance) Rehabilitation Program.
