Saint Francis Care Wellness Complex

Saint Francis Care has a significant presence at the Mandell Jewish Community Center these days. As part of a major renovation and expansion of the JCC, the Hospital has added a new outpatient physical therapy site to its existing cardiac rehabilitation and wellness programs. The Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital Physical Therapy Center specializes in assessing and treating orthopedic, sports-related, and neurological injuries and conditions such as neck and back pain, muscle and ligament injuries, stroke and multiple sclerosis. The Center also offers post-surgical rehabilitation including joint replacements, ACL reconstruction and rotator cuff repairs.

"The new physical therapy center is a natural extension of our partnership with the Mandell JCC. The location is convenient and easily accessible for injured patients. The patients also enjoy the benefit of skilled therapists treating in a wellness oriented environment. It's a wonderful combination!" said Ed Johnson, DDS, Senior Vice President at The Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital.

"This partnership is a continuation of a decades-old partnership that began with Mount Sinai Hospital and the creation of the JCC's Phase 3 Cardiac Rehabilitation Program," said David Jacobs, Executive Director of the Mandell JCC. "The addition of the Physical Rehabilitation program and the myriad wellness classes offered by Saint Francis Care is a major step for both institutions and a great benefit to our community."
