Rehabilitation Center Overview
Everything Imaginable to Overcome the Unthinkable
We go about our daily lives, looking both ways, trying to be careful. Trying to avoid the unexpected. And hoping we never, ever, have to face the unthinkable. A traumatic brain or spinal cord injury. Or a major stroke.
At the Rehabilitation Center at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC), we’re undaunted by the unthinkable.
That’s because we’ve created one of the most innovative rehabilitation facilities on the West Coast. Filled with some of the most compassionate and highly qualified board-certified doctors, therapists and nurses in the nation. All ready when a catastrophic injury patient arrives.
And from our groundbreaking stem cell research to the cutting-edge ZeroG gravity system, to one-on-one peer counseling, we’re using the latest advancements to get patients up and moving and living again. Sooner. And with more successful results.
We’re doing everything imaginable, to overcome the unthinkable.
The Rehabilitation Center at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center – a 64-bed full-service physical rehabilitation facility licensed by the State of California and located in San Jose – has been treating individuals with brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, and other disabling neurological conditions since 1971. The experience gained over those five decades and the exceptional skills of a dedicated team of rehabilitation specialists has brought advanced treatment, leading-edge research and technology, superior patient outcomes, and renewed hope to more than 10,000 people.
