Who We Are
Rehabilitation Hospital of Wisconsin is a state-of-the-art, 40-bed inpatient acute rehabilitation hospital that is the result of a partnership between ProHealth Care and Lifepoint Rehabilitation to meet the growing rehabilitation needs of the region.
For more than a century, ProHealth Care has been the health care leader in Waukesha County and surrounding areas, providing outstanding care across a full spectrum of services. The people of ProHealth Care strive to continuously improve the health and well-being of the community by combining skill, compassion and innovation.
Our rehabilitation programs provide ongoing care and specialized treatment to patients throughout their recovery journey. We offer customized, individualized rehabilitation tailored to the specific needs of those recovering from a stroke, brain injury, neurological conditions, trauma, spinal cord injury, amputation, and orthopedic injury.
We strive to maximize the health, function, and quality of life of those we serve through comprehensive physical medicine and rehabilitation programs.

- Increasing independence in mobility, transfers, and activity of daily living skills
