Refer a Patient
Patients can be referred to Penn Medicine Rehabilitation or the The Specialty Hospital at Rittenhouse for inpatient care by a physician, insurance company, discharge planner/social worker, home health agency, family member or self-referral.
Refer patients to our referral center:

Referring physicians should provide recent information on history and physical, medications, demographics and recent office visit dates. An admissions liaison will review this information to determine if a patient meets admission criteria. Other factors influencing patient admission include bed availability and the patient’s medical stability.
