Stroke Recovery
Stroke rehabilitation is a race against time. Choosing the right place for care and starting therapy as soon as possible impacts recovery of both brain and body. Regardless of the type of stroke (e.g., ischemic, hemorrhagic), our focus is on helping you regain lost abilities.
With advances in care, research and technology, there’s never been greater hope for stroke recovery.

The needs of stroke survivors are unique. From offering best-in-class inpatient care in our Brain Innovation Center to leveraging the latest scientific breakthroughs in our Ability Labs, our state-of-the-art facility offers the greatest chance for stroke recovery.
Brain Innovation Center
With three dedicated floors of inpatient care and over 100 beds, the Brain Innovation Center is designed to take care of patients with diverse conditions and to promote brain healing and recovery by providing the world’s best medical & nursing care supported by our novel research.
Learn MoreLegs + Walking Lab
This Lab is designed for patients and research participants with diagnoses affecting lower-body function due to brain or spinal cord injury and diseases of the nerves, muscles and bones. Researchers and clinicians focus on advancing trunk, pelvic and leg function, movement, coordination, strength and balance.
Arms + Hands Lab
The two-story Harris Family Foundation Arms + Hands Lab is a robust environment designed for patients and research participants working on recovering and strengthening complex hand and reaching skills — turning a key, picking up a pen, reaching for a glass, putting on a sweater…all the many things we do with our hands, arms and fingers.
Think + Speak Lab
Recovering the ability to think, reason, perceive, swallow, eat, talk, interact with others and make decisions are key for returning to yourself, loved ones and life. In this Lab, combined therapeutic care and scientific application help you recover these building blocks of ability.
