We're not your typical hospital, our rehabilitation department features an indoor pool with an underwater treadmill, and we have the capacity to board up to 40 dogs and 10 cats. We've recently added an adoption initiative, housing a couple of rescue cats on our third floor to help match them with loving homes through our amazing clients.
