Polytrauma care is for Veterans and returning Servicemembers with injuries to more than one physical region or organ system, one of which may be life threatening, and which results in physical, cognitive, psychological, or psychosocial impairments and functional disability. Some examples of Polytrauma include:

  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
  • Hearing Loss
  • Amputations
  • Fractures
  • Burns
  • Visual Impairment 

We provide comprehensive, high-quality, and inter-disciplinary care to patients. Teams of physicians from every relevant field plan and administer an individually tailored rehabilitation plan to help the patient recover as much as possible.

“It’s personal here, not like a hospital. More like home.”
