Lowenstein's Stroke Rehabilitation Center of Excellence internal recognition program highlights the accomplishments that have exceeded established benchmarks in clinical programming and patient outcomes for the treatment of stroke.

Some of those benchmarks include the program being led by a board-certified physician with expertise and specialized training in stroke. The hospital's medical staff includes specialty physicians in the areas of neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology, urology, and pulmonary and internal medicine.ke support groups are also available to patients for follow-up care.

Lowenstein Stroke Rehabilitation centers of Excellence employ treatment teams of specially trained clinicians in the areas of physical, occupational and speech therapies, in addition to nursing. These treatment teams meet weekly to develop individualized courses of treatment for patients. The course of treatment could include a combination of the following specialty programs: cognitive retraining, behavior management, comprehensive spasticity management, neuropsychological testing and treatment, augmentative communication, driving education, and gait and balance training.

Lowenstein stroke teams also meet with the patient and family to obtain input for the plan of care. Structured family education series provide caregivers disease-specific information on prevention, medication management and coping strategies.
