Uniquely positioned to care for injured workers, Gaylord offers a comprehensive approach to recovery by combining acute medical care with world-class rehabilitation. With both a long-term acute care hospital and an acute rehab hospital under one roof, Gaylord can admit patients directly from the ICU early in their recovery process. For patients and their families, this means less time spent at the acute-care hospital, more time focused on healing and rehabilitation, and ultimately, better patient outcomes.
