Methodist Rehabilitation Center

Even before our patients dare hope that they can be healed, our staff is at their side, helping them achieve the highest level of recovery possible. Since 1975, that dedication has made Methodist Rehabilitation Center the place that people turn to when their lives have been turned upside down by a disabling injury or illness.

As Mississippi’s only comprehensive rehabilitation hospital, we feature programs specifically designed to treat people who have had a stroke, brain or spinal injury. Each program has a staff dedicated to the treatment of that specific injury or illness. This experience gives us the expertise no other hospital can claim. And now we’re successfully applying that expertise to an ever-expanding field of rehabilitation services for people with neurological and orthopedic illnesses and injuries.

As a result, we’ve twice been the only hospital in Mississippi to be named one of America’s Best by U.S. News & World Report. And we've twice been named one of only 16 Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems in the nation, putting us at the forefront of exciting improvements in the treatment of brain injuries.

We've been accredited by CARF International for inpatient rehabilitation services, and we're the only hospital in the state to be accredited in all aspects of our stroke, brain and spinal injury rehab programs. We’ve also gained worldwide prominence for groundbreaking West Nile virus research being conducted by our Center for Neuroscience and Neurological Recovery.

Methodist is Committed to Offering Comprehensive Services

After a severe disabling injury or illnesses, many patients and their families need a network of support services for many years to come, perhaps even a lifetime. Methodist Rehabilitation Center’s commitment to its patients and their families is evident.

While many community-based organizations offer help, Methodist has committed its support in areas that are generally too expensive or difficult for other organizations to address.
