Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific Charity Profile

Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific (REHAB) is the only acute-care medical rehabilitation organization serving Hawaii. For more than 56 years, the 100-bed, not-for-profit hospital and outpatient clinics on Oahu and the Big Island have been dedicated to providing comprehensive medical rehabilitation services.

Each year, REHAB treats more than 5,500 patients recovering from strokes, brain injury, spinal cord injury, orthopedic injuries, sports injuries and those individuals requiring general rehabilitation. Services to patients include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.

REHAB accepts referrals from acute care hospitals and other healthcare organizations. Our team of professionals can help the patient achieve his or her fullest potential. After inpatient treatment, nearly 90 percent of our patients are able to return to a home setting. After outpatient treatment, many return to work and/or other community activities with improved function. REHAB is accredited by the Joint Commission as an acute specialty hospital in physical rehabilitation. First known as the Rehabilitation Center of Hawaii, the hospital was established in 1953 by the Kauikeolani-Children's Hospital Foundation to serve the needs of physically disabled people residing in Hawaii including polio-stricken children.

In 1969 the Center was renamed the Pacific Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine and in 1975 separated from Children's Hospital to become an independent, not-for-profit hospital specializing exclusively in rehabilitation medicine. It was renamed the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific. Most people know us today as REHAB.

In the early 1980's, REHAB developed specialized programs with treatment teams to serve individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities from injury, disease, and/or congenital causes. Patients that are admitted enter an appropriate program (i.e. stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, etc.). These programs use a multi-disciplinary team approach. Disciplines include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, rehab nursing, recreational therapy, social services, physician and psychology services.

During the 1980's REHAB also established outpatient clinics in convenient neighborhood locations on Oahu to offer comprehensive outpatient services. The goal of outpatient services is to maximize independence for individuals who have physical or cognitive disabilities resulting from injury or disease. Services were expanded to include the injured worker. During the 1990's, outpatient clinics were established on Maui and Hawaii.

Today, Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific continues our commitment to providing the highest quality services that offer dignity and hope to people with disabilities - enabling them to live independent, productive and fulfilling lives.
