The Winifred Masterson Burke Rehabilitation Hospital

What it reported doing in 2024

Burke is a 150 bed acute care hospital entirely dedicated to rehabilitation medicine and a leader in the field of medical rehabilitation providing inpatient and ambulatory care for a broad range of neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiac and pulmonary disabilities caused by disease or injury. Our programs target those who have suffered a stroke, spinal cord or brain injury, underwent complicated orthopedic surgery or are afflicted with cardiac or pulmonary disease or other neurological disorders such as parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis. Most of our patients are referrals that were transferred to burke from other acute care facilities once their condition had stabilized and they were able to participate in intense physical, occupational and speech therapy. The goal of the intensive inpatient rehabilitation program at burke is to maximize our patients recovery. Our expert rehabilitation team is committed to helping our patients return to as active and productive life as possible. Each patient's program is tailored to meet his or her needs by integrating several disciplines, including physical, occupational, respiratory, speech language and recreational therapies with specialty medicine, nursing, case management, social work and the appropriate specialty services as needed. Group discussions and individual counseling sessions help patients and family members adjust to circumstances resulting from physical disability and prepare them for the possibility of a new way of life. The majority of our patients return to their home or communities after their hospital stay is completed. At burke rehabilitation hospital, we strive to create lifelong relationships with our patients even after their therapy has been completed. We also invite community members to the burke campus to utilize and enjoy all of our programs and services. Burke offers many community programs from support groups to educational events to our adult fitness center and related health programs. All of our programs offer individuals the opportunity to learn, exercise and share with others. Burke continues to deeepen its commitment to patients and stakeholders by expanding rehabilitative services across the continuum of care. Burke is the first and only free-standing rebahilitation hospital in New York with on-site dialysis. Burke's outpatient expansion continues to bring expert rehabilitation to new communities. Burke has expanded its outpatient physician practice, delivering cutting-edge physical medicine and rehabilitative care to more individuals with neurological, musculoskeletal, and orthopedic conditions. Additionally, burke expanded the scope of its nationally recognized graduate medical education program.
