Burke Rehabilitation Hospital Expands at the Hutchinson Campus with New State-of-the-Art Facilities and Therapy Services

Burke Rehabilitation Hospital doubled the size of its outpatient therapy clinic and increased its therapy offerings with the opening of a new site at Montefiore Einstein’s Hutchinson Campus.

The center’s more than 5,000 square feet of light-filled treatment space is outfitted with the latest technologies for physical, occupational and speech therapies. A ribbon-cutting ceremony unveiled the new center, located at 1250 Waters Place, Tower One, 6th floor.

Attending the ribbon-cutting were Philip O. Ozuah, MD, PhD, President and CEO, Montefiore Einstein; Andrew Racine, MD, PhD, System Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Montefiore Einstein, Executive Director, Montefiore Medical Group, and Professor of Pediatrics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Scott Edelman, Interim Executive Director, Burke Rehabilitation Hospital; Mooyeon Oh-Park, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Burke Rehabilitation Hospital; and Matthew N. Bartels, MD, MPH, Chairman, Rehabilitation Medicine, and Professor, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Montefiore Einstein.

They were joined by Montefiore physicians and Burke leadership and therapists. Elected officials representing the Bronx, including New York State Assemblyman Michael Benedetto and New York City Council member Marjorie Velázquez, also attended.

Burke already provides musculoskeletal therapy on the 10th floor of Tower One. The additional space includes five private treatment rooms and a designated occupational therapy area.

“The new therapy space at the Hutchinson Campus will allow us to continue to provide excellent multidisciplinary rehabilitative care in a more spacious and comfortable environment,” said Jonathan Mroz, MS, PT, Site Supervisor, Bronx – Westchester Avenue. “We have added several new pieces of equipment that will be utilized in providing rehabilitation for our growing number of neurologically involved patients. With this new location, Burke will better serve the rehabilitative needs of the Bronx community by providing access to the same exceptional level of care available at our flagship outpatient location in White Plains.”

Additional features at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital include:

• Two oversized high-low treatment tables
• A bodyweight support track system for ambulation, balance and transfer activities
• Two sets of high-low parallel bars for balance and gait training
• BITS balance system
• RT Xcite, a device that utilizes mild electrical stimulation to engage atrophied muscles
