Comprehensive Medical Rehabilitation Program at Clove Lakes

Highest Discharge Rates 
Another benefit of post-hospital care at Clove Lakes is the outstanding discharge rate of the medical rehabilitation program.  

In the first half of 2002, 89% of the patients who completed the comprehensive medical rehabilitation program were discharged home.

The Comprehensive Medical Rehabilitation Program admitted patients requiring rehabilitation for various conditions including knee replacements, total hip replacements, hip fractures, strokes, pulmonary and cardiac conditions, and muscle disorders.

We are proud of our continued success in rehabilitation and our discharge rate back to home.  And, more than 40 hospitals from New York and New Jersey have referred six thousand patients since the program started in 1992.
