Stroke and Inpatient Medical Rehabilitation

Share:

The first episode of Medical Rehab Matters addresses stroke and inpatient medical rehabilitation. Stroke impacts approximately 800,000 people in the U.S. each year and more than two-thirds of them receive inpatient rehabilitation services after they’re released from the hospital. Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability and the fourth leading cause of death. About one quarter of inpatient medical rehabilitation patients are there because of a stroke.  Our guests include Joel Stein, MD, Professor of Rehabilitation and Regenerative Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College,  Physiatrist-in-Chief at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and Professor and Chair of the  Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons; Argye Hillis,  MD, Director, Center of Excellence in Stroke Detection and Diagnosis, Sheikh Khalifa Stroke Institute  Professor of Neurology at Johns  Hopkins Medicine; Jaclyn Barcikowski, MD, MossRehab, Associate Program Director Residency Training Program; and Brian Reid, who experienced a stroke in spring 2020.

Cohosts: Patricia Sullivan, director of communications for the American Medical Rehabilitation Providers Association and Robert Krug, MD, who is the immediate past chairman of the AMRPA Board and Vice President of Medical Affairs for the Advisory Group for Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital.
