Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine - Was founded in 1948 by Dr. Howard A. Rusk, widely known as "the father of rehabilitation medicine" for his revolutionary work in the field. Dr. Rusk's philosophy of care emphasized treating the entire person - an individual with emotional, psychological, and social needs - not just the illness or disability, an approach that still guides the Institute today. With 174 beds, Rusk is one of the world's largest university centers for treating and training disabled adults and children, as well as for research in rehabilitation medicine. U.S. News & World Report has named the Rusk Institute the top rehabilitation facility in New York State for 16 consecutive years. Rusk serves approximately 2,500 inpatients and 55,000 outpatients each year. In 2006, the Rusk Institute combined its programs with the Rehabilitation Program at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. Rusk now offers specialty rehabilitation programs in stroke rehabilitation, medically complex rehabilitation, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, pediatric rehabilitation, cardiac/pulmonary rehabilitation, and general rehabilitation at its primary site on 34th Street, and brain injury rehabilitation and orthopedic rehabilitation at its 17th Street location. The Rusk Institute has also partnered with six of New York's finest regional skilled nursing facilities, creating the new Rusk Rehabilitation Network. Now, patients requiring sub-acute rehabilitation can receive the same excellence in care that has long been associated with the Institute's acute inpatient rehabilitation programs.

NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases (HJD) - Is one of only five orthopedic/rheumatology hospitals in the world, and the only one with a program in neurology. HJD was founded in Harlem in 1905 and quickly earned a reputation for innovation in musculoskeletal care. HJD researchers conducted the first extensive research in arthroscopic techniques in the U.S., beginning in the late twenties, developed the earliest orthopedic procedures for polio and congenital deformities in children in the 1940s, and discovered the gene that increases risk for rheumatoid arthritis in 1986, to name just a few advances. HJD maintains an extensive research program in musculoskeletal disease and is home to the nation's largest orthopedic residency program. In 1979, HJD moved to its present site at 17th Street and Second Avenue, a 17-floor facility with 190 beds. HJD merged with NYU Medical Center in 2006, creating the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. HJD now offers extensive clinical programs in orthopedics, rheumatology, neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, physical and occupational therapy, and radiology. Treatment is provided in a variety of subspecialty areas, including joint replacement, pediatrics, sports medicine, spinal hand, shoulder, elbow, foot and ankle disorders, pain management, and urgent orthopedic care. HJD also offers primary and gynecological care for women with disabilities through its Initiative for Women with Disabilities/Elly and Steve Hammerman Health and Wellness Center. Each year, HJD treats about 5,100 inpatients and 96,000 outpatients and performs 12,000 surgeries.
