Rehabilitation

Message from the Assistant Vice President
JeMe Cioppa-Mosca, PT, MBA

The Virginia F. and William R. Salomon Rehabilitation Department plays an integral role in patient care and research at Hospital for Special Surgery. Its multidisciplinary staff includes physical therapists, occupational therapists, ATCs, certified strength and conditioning coaches, massage therapists, and speech and language pathologists as well as clinical psychologists.

Its skilled professionals provide quality rehabilitative care for patients of all ages pre-operatively, post-operatively, and/or for conservative management of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders.

The Department offers comprehensive services on-site at its main HSS campus, off-site at the Integrative Care Center (ICC), and through its HSS Rehabilitation Network.

To begin receiving rehabilitation services, a written referral from a physician is necessary.
