Since its founding in 1948, NYU Langone’s Rusk Rehabilitation has focused on providing patients with high-quality, innovative rehabilitation care and the recovery resources they need to lead full and rewarding lives. To quote Howard A. Rusk, M.D., widely considered the father of rehabilitation medicine and our program’s namesake: “To believe in rehabilitation is to believe in humanity.”
Rusk’s very simple philosophy – that physical medicine and rehabilitation should involve the whole person – has driven Rusk Rehabilitation’s remarkable growth over the last 75 years. Today, our internationally recognized programs cover the full spectrum of rehabilitative services and our experts continue to be leaders in research and education, as well as clinical care.
