The Mount Sinai Morningside rehabilitation center provides expert care to any person in need of rehabilitation medicine services, as needed, during a patient’s stay. Our practice provides a customized and evidence-based approach to ensure optimal recovery to function and health.

Services

Patients in our 15-bed, short-term rehab unit have daily access to the program's intensive physical and occupational therapies, and speech-language pathology services. All of our patients are well cared for by an excellent around-the-clock rehab nursing and medical staff. There are three private rooms available on this unit.
