Rehabilitation
New England Sinai Hospital's rehabilitation services offer customized patient and family-focused rehab treatment and education that emphasize each patient's unique strengths, abilities and preferences. The goal is to maximize functional independence, providing patients with the essential skills needed to return to a community lifestyle.

The Sinai rehabilitation process is designed to improve the quality of life for patients recovering from a variety of medical conditions which may include:
- Stroke
- Progressive neurological disease
- Amputation and diabetes
- COPD
- Congestive heart failure
