Referring a Patient for Acute Care Therapy Services

The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine offers physical therapy, occupational therapy, and recreation therapy services to all inpatients who are appropriately referred at both NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
