Stellar Hospital Staff Holds 58 Certifications

With 58 individual staff certifications and 10 accreditations from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is more than ready to treat the effects of brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke and orthopedic injuries.

The rehabilitation staff includes highly trained professional clinicians experienced in treating specific disabilities and certified in a variety of specialty areas. PNRC encourages staff members to keep learning so they can provide patients with the most advanced, up-to-date care.

Registered nurses, therapists and clinicians who achieve certification in stroke rehab or injuries of the brain and spine maintain their certification through continued education. Some staff members are certified in multiple areas. The high number of accreditations and certifications is a testament to the excellent level of care at the Patricia Neal Rehab Center.
