​​​Subacute Rehabilitation

The hospital-based subacute rehabilitation program at Polk Medical Center helps patients build the strength and balance they need to return home or to a residential facility after surgery, an illness, injury or other medical procedure.

Our program offers rehabilitative care in a hospital setting. This gives patients immediate access to the medical care and support needed to quickly return to an appropriate level of independence:

• Frequent visits by a rehabilitation physician
• Multidisciplinary, collaborative team approach
• Specially trained nurses and therapists
• Weekly team conferences
• Therapy gymnasium equipped with proven rehabilitation technology
• Low nurse-to-patient ratios​​
