Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, through its affiliation with the Montefiore Health System, offers acute rehabilitation programs and services to patients from all around the world. Patients who are in New York to receive treatment or who are undergoing surgery at one of the Montefiore-affiliated hospitals can, if medically appropriate, receive rehabilitation at Burke following discharge.

Their expertise helps take the burden off the family when a health crisis arises.
