A leader in providing acute physical rehabilitation services, Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital is located in Lexington, Kentucky. Dedicated exclusively to rehabilitation, we specialize in the treatment of spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke, pulmonary, multiple sclerosis, hip and knee replacements, and other disabling conditions for people of all ages.
In addition, we offer comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation services helping people to regain movement, strength and function for patients able to live at home. Our affiliation with the University of Kentucky Medical School enables us to deliver the latest in research, teaching, and technology in rehabilitation services. Cardinal Hill is fully accredited by the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission and treats over 6,000 patients each year.
Tragically, Kentucky leads the nation in lung-related illnesses, as a result of tobacco abuse. For the growing number of people suffering with chronic lung diseases, Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital has established the first inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program in central Kentucky.
The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program can benefit persons diagnosed with the following conditions: asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, occupational and environmental lung disease, poliomyelitis and lung transplants. Our objectives are to control, reduce and alleviate the symptoms and complications of chronic pulmonary disease; train the patient how to reach the highest possible level of independent functioning for his/her Activities of Daily Living and to train the patient to self-manage his/her daily living, consistent with the pulmonary disease process.
