If you have a disability or are recovering from illness, injury or surgery the TRP team can help you gain greater independence.
The philosophy of care integrates a holistic, mind-body approach within a healing environment, dedicated to providing you with whole-person care. This allows you to identify and work toward your goals, leading to increased independence and function.
In 2016, the TRP earned a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
