"What Comes Next?"

Inpatient medical rehabilitation can transform your life — helping your strength, skills and independence, getting you home sooner, and helping you return to work, school or leisure activities you love. You'll benefit from the expert care, innovative treatment and advanced technologies provided by a multidisciplinary team of rehabilitation specialists.

Led by a physiatrist, a board-certified physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation, your team may include rehabilitation nurses, physical, occupational, cognitive and respiratory therapists; speech language pathologists; psychologists and neuropsychologists; dietitians; pharmacists; prosthetists; orthotists; recreation therapists; social workers/case managers; and other clinical and support staff. Together, they will tailor treatment to your needs, goals and hopes for the future.

You and your family may find yourselves asking the daunting question of “What comes next?”

When the car she was a passenger in slammed into a tree, Monique Jones didn’t know how much her life was about to change.

The traumatic accident resulted in a spinal cord injury. To recover, Monique turned to Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network for help.

When Monique first arrived at Good Shepherd, she couldn’t walk. Today, she drives, attends school and works toward her goal of walking unassisted.

“Love yourself no matter what, focus on you and being the best version of yourself — that’s something Good Shepherd taught me,” Monique says.

Watch the video for more of Monique’s story of rehabilitation.
