Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI) provides personalized, compassionate care for individuals facing life-changing injury or illness. Whether you're recovering from a brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, transplant or other trauma, we provide world-class rehabilitation – including inpatient, outpatient, and follow-up services to help you re-integrate back into the community – all under the same roof. It's a continuum of care, and it's how we help get you back to home, school, work, and life.

We treat patients 15 years and older who are in need of rehabilitation services for a variety of injuries, illnesses, and conditions.

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). You can also expect:

  • 24/7 care – with individual and group therapy 7 days a week
  • Large facilities and state-of-the-art equipment and technology
  • Interdisciplinary care team – including a physiatrist, neuropsychologist, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language pathologists
  • Internationally-recognized doctors on-site
  • Physicians visit patients every 1-2 days
  • 4 to 6 patient-to-nurse ratio
  • On-site radiology and pharmacy
  • Ongoing collaboration with IU Health and Ascension St. Vincent
  • 20 Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurses

Enhancing Patient Care Through Translational Research

RHI's care is different than other healthcare providers because we are committed to providing the most progressive treatment options that are proven to be successful. RHI conducts innovative clinical and translational research in the fields of brain injury, spinal cord injury, and stroke which enables us to apply scientifically tested, evidence-based research to make patient care better.
