A MESSAGE FROM THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR<br />
Mount Sinai Rehabilitation <strong>Hospital</strong>, Connecticut’s only comparisons. So, as Congress continues to wrestle with the<br />
acute rehabilitation hospital, has continued to build on past<br />
complexities of healthcare reform, it is imperative that we advocate<br />
successful initiatives during another busy year.<br />
for continued access to the specialized care <strong>and</strong> services we provide<br />
I invite you to explore this annual report to gain an<br />
to those in need.<br />
underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the importance of outcomes in the field of<br />
I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to our staff for the<br />
rehabilitation. What we like to refer to as a “three-pronged<br />
compassion, commitment, <strong>and</strong> expertise demonstrated on a daily<br />
approach” to patient care allows an<br />
basis; to our Board of Directors <strong>and</strong> generous donors for their<br />
interdisciplinary team to actualize each<br />
vision <strong>and</strong> leadership; <strong>and</strong> finally to our patients<br />
individualized plan of care.<br />
…as Congress continues who inspire us all. It is an honor <strong>and</strong> a privilege<br />
While acute rehabilitation involves<br />
many different medical consultants <strong>and</strong><br />
ancillary services to address complex medical<br />
conditions, it is our outst<strong>and</strong>ing therapists<br />
to wrestle with the<br />
complexities of healthcare<br />
reform, it is imperative<br />
to serve as <strong>Medical</strong> Director of Mount Sinai<br />
Rehabilitation <strong>Hospital</strong>.<br />

nursing <strong>and</strong> cutting-edge technology; all<br />

Physical Medicine <strong>and</strong> Rehabilitation that make<br />
the difference in the outcomes.<br />
Mount Sinai outcomes are consistently<br />

services we provide to<br />
those in need.<br />
