The Stroke Rehabilitation Center at TIRR Memorial Hermann is specially designed to maximize a outcome for patients who have suffered a stroke.
Therapy After Stroke in a Hospital Setting
We provide specialized medical management, nursing and therapy services in a hospital setting. Individual therapy, group treatment and community outings address the patient's functional abilities.

Recovery After Discharge with Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation
Recovery from stroke does not end with a patient's discharge from the inpatient program. Rather, recovery continues long after the return home.
The programs at the Outpatient Medical Clinic and Outpatient Rehabilitation allow patient and family to transition from the hospital setting to home while continuing to receive intense therapy services and medical monitoring. Stroke support groups, counseling, education and individualized training also prepare families and caregivers for the patient's discharge
