For over 75 years, Kessler Institute has been a national leader in rehabilitation medicine. Today, as one of the nation's largest rehabilitation hospitals, we continue to lead this field — providing the highly specialized care, advanced treatment and innovative technologies that enable individuals with spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, amputation, neurologic diseases, orthopedic trauma, cancer and cardiac conditions to rebuild their lives.
Kessler is one of only ten centers in the nation – and the only hospital in New Jersey - to be federally designated as a Model System for treatment and research of both traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, a distinction shared with Kessler Foundation. That same level of expertise and experience distinguishes each of the comprehensive rehabilitation programs offered at our four New Jersey campuses. Perhaps that's one reason why U.S. News & World Report ranks Kessler as one of "America's Best Hospitals." And why each year, thousands of individuals from across the country choose Kessler for their rehabilitation.
