A Century of Progress (continued) Phase III, Missouri Rehabilitation Center, 1971-1985 The Missouri General Assembly again changed the facility’s name and mission. This time, it would answer the needs of those who were seriously impaired through accident or injury and who had capacity for improvement through extensive rehabilitation. General physical rehabilitation was begun in late 1985 and the center opened its traumatic brain injury (TBI) program in January, 1986. The program has grown to be the largest in the state. Several components were added including a transitional living unit, a behavior modification unit and a program for comprehensive substance abuse treatment and rehabilitation program (CSTAR). An outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program was opened in 1989. In 1990, the center rented space to the Veterans Administration for an outpatient clinic to be operated as a satellite of the VA Hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The clinic contracts with the Missouri Rehabilitation Center to provide services which included laboratory, radiology, maintenance and housekeeping.
