Our Patient and Families
Major patient populations include: spinal cord injuries; strokes; traumatic brain injuries; neuromuscular injuries or disease; and patients with debilitation from long-term, complex medical problems such as transplants. Up to two rehabilitation patients may be ventilator dependent.

Philosophy of Care
6A nurses are committed to patient self-management and family involvement. At the same time, our nurses provide excellent medical nursing and highly skilled compensatory care to patients who are sometimes clinically fragile and often very dependent. A major nursing focus is patient and family education to prepare for care at home.

Our Nursing Team
Nurses here are actively involved in interdisciplinary collaborative practice, and are active members of a care team that includes MDs; Physical, Occupational, Speech, Independent Living and Recreational Therapists; Social Workers; Psychologists; Rehab Engineers; Orthotics specialists; and others as patient needs dictate. Collaboration occurs through structured team meetings and extensive care plan development. Patients and families are also members of the team and are involved in systematic discharge planning. Primary nursing is practiced with all patients.
