A National Leader in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Services

The MetroHealth Rehabilitation Institute of Ohio is the largest hospital-based rehabilitation program in the state and provides inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services for patients recovering from a variety of conditions. 

As part of The MetroHealth System, the MetroHealth Rehabilitation Institute of Ohio draws on the patient care, research, and educational resources of one of the region's major healthcare institutions.

MetroHealth Medical Center and its Level I trauma service, is a key entry point for many of our patients. Others are referred by medical facilities and providers throughout Ohio, across the country, and internationally.

Founded in 1953 as Highland View Hospital, The MetroHealth Rehabilitation Institute of Ohio was one of the nation's first hospitals dedicated solely to rehabilitation. Our long and focused history has allowed the MetroHealth Rehabilitation Institute to develop a level of expertise that has become a regional resource and a national model.
