The program cares for approximately 200 people with new spinal cord injury or diseases each year. The extensive experience of the rehabilitation staff insures that patients in this program can typically expect their average functional improvement to meet or exceed the national norm.

Rehabilitation at Mayo Clinic is focused on developing self-reliance and establishing healthy interpersonal relationships. Mayo Clinic provides the tools and the expertise for the most successful outcome; however, Mayo recognizes that success also results from the patient's effort. Patients have an active role in setting goals for their rehabilitation.

The Spinal Cord Rehabilitation Program at Mayo Clinic is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and the Joint Commission.
