World-Class Care Right Here in Indiana
RHI is the only TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) Model System in Indiana, and one of just 16 such systems nationwide. We are also the only Indiana rehabilitation center that is CARF-certified in Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke, and Spinal Cord Injury. CARF (the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) is an independent, nonprofit organization focused on advancing the quality of rehabilitation care to achieve the best possible outcomes. CARF accreditation signals a service provider's commitment to continually improve services, encourage feedback, and serve the community. RHI is CARF-certified in four areas – spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, stroke, and comprehensive medical. And our doctors have made the Best Doctors list every year for a decade (2009-2019).
