ShareAbout Magee Rehabilitation
Magee Rehabilitation, a founding member of the Jefferson Health System, is nationally recognized for its outstanding programs in physical and cognitive rehabilitation, with comprehensive services for spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, orthopedic replacement, amputation, pain management and work injury.
Magee was rated as one of America’s leading rehabilitation hospitals in U.S. News & World Report’s 1998, 1999, 2002, 2004 and 2005 annual “America’s Best Hospitals” rankings. Accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), Magee was the first facility in the nation to be CARF-accredited in brain injury rehabilitation. Magee, along with MossRehab, forms a traumatic brain injury system of care.
Magee, in conjunction with Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, serves as the federally designated Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center of Delaware Valley. Only sixteen such centers exist in the country.
Magee has teamed with local sports franchise to form the Magee Eagles Wheelchair Rugby team, the Magee Sixers Spokesmen Wheelchair Basketball team and the Magee Freedoms Wheelchair Tennis team.
Magee's doors were opened in 1958 through the goodwill of benefactor Anna Magee. Her generosity led to the establishment of Magee as the first free-standing rehabilitation hospital in Philadelphia. Today, Magee has over 500 employees committed to the hospital's mission: helping patients to build on strengths for independence.
Independence is achieved through a team approach at Magee. Each patient has access to a physiatrist (a doctor specializing in rehabilitation medicine), nurse, occupational therapist, physical therapist, speech/language pathologist, psychologist, social worker/case manager and recreational therapist working with him or her. Magee's unique approach to rehabilitation involves patients and their families in the goal-setting process.
Traditional therapies are enhanced by other Magee services which include day rehab, community re-entry, vocational counseling, peer support groups, nutritional counseling, prevention programs, job placement services, wheelchair sports and recreational activities. Community-based outpatient programs are offered as part of Magee's comprehensive lifetime follow-up system.
Inpatient services are delivered at Magee’s main facility located at Sixteenth & Race Streets in Center City Philadelphia. Outpatient programs are delivered in a variety of community settings including the home, workplace, Magee-MossRehab at Voorhees and the Magee Riverfront outpatient center at 1500 South Columbus Boulevard. Work injury and pain management services are offered at the Work Fitness Center located within Magee Riverfront.
