Rusk Rehabilitaton Center

providing quality care to people who have suffered an injury
or illness. Rusk has achieved a reputation throughout Missouri and surrounding states as one of the
foremost centers for rehabilitation and physical medicine.

services in one place. In 1997, the University formed a

standing rehabilitation facilities in the world. As part

facilities. The facility also includes a therapeutic pool.
Rusk is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation
of Rehabilitation Facilities and the Joint Commission of
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Rusk offers inpatient
