Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Services

Compassionate, Comprehensive Rehabilitation Care

When you’re recovering from an injury or serious medical condition, our Center for Rehabilitation Services can help you through your journey.

You’ll work with a multidisciplinary team led by a physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation. The physician and team will work with both you and your loved ones. Together, the team will provide treatment and guidance aimed at helping you care for yourself and adjust to the changes that come with a life-altering event.

We have a 12-bed, in-hospital unit of all private rooms. Located on the first floor at ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah, our unit has two therapy gyms, an outdoor therapy garden, a dining room area, and a family room.

To ensure we’re providing the highest standards of care, our programs are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. We also have certified rehabilitation nursing staff.
