In addition to post-acute care, we also offer outpatient rehabilitation services to help patients transition to home and community or receive the medical care they need.

The Acute Rehabilitation at Knox Community Hospital helps patients experiencing a loss of function from injury or illness to become as independent as possible in activities of daily living so that they may return home and resume daily activities.
