Penn State Health Welcomes you to AAPPR 2023!
Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center is the only medical facility in Pennsylvania to be accredited as both an adult and a pediatric Level 1 trauma center, with 619 licensed beds and more than 3,000 physicians and direct care providers at 90+ unique medical office locations. The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department was established in 2010 with the opening of the 54 bed Penn State Rehabilitation Hospital, a joint venture between Select Medical and Penn State Health Medical Group.
This venture between a premier academic medical center and a for-profit rehabiitation organization was so successful that the Rehab Hospital was expanded in 2022 to include an additional 45 beds (10 beds dedicated to pediatric patients and 22 of them dedicated to Transitional Care), a Wound Care Center and an Outpatient Day Program. The Rehab Hospital is both Joint Commission and CARF-accredited.
Penn State PM and R Research Laboratories include exercise, body composition, locomotor training and gait equipment at the Hershey Center for Applied Research, and complement the Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute.
