Stroke/Neurological Rehabilitation Program - How To Access

Referrals to the inpatient stroke rehabilitation program come from acute care hospitals and from the community. Clinicians can send referrals to our Parkwood Access office where they are carefully reviewed for admission eligibility. Individuals (patients and caregivers) can not self refer to our program.
