Recovery from serious illness or injury often requires intense physical, occupational and speech therapy. Once a patient is discharged from the hospital, this intensive level of therapy may best take place in an inpatient rehabilitation unit such as Providence Acute Rehabilitation Center (PARC).

The 21-bed comprehensive care and rehabilitation center located on the 4th floor (4K) of Providence Portland Medical Center offers specialized therapy for patients recovering from:

• Stroke
• Neurological conditions
• Head injury
• Amputation
• Orthopedic conditions, including joint replacement
• Spinal cord injury
• Catastrophic illness
• Congenital disorders
• Multiple trauma

At PARC, doctors and a highly skilled team of therapists strive together to help patients regain quality of life after a life-altering medical event.
