Trinity Mother Frances Rehabilitation Hospital is a 74-bed freestanding acute rehabilitation hospital. Serving the Tyler and east Texas community since 1993, we are dedicated to the treatment of patients who require rehabilitation after serious illness or injury and are proud to be nationally recognized as a "Stroke Center of Excellence." Our goal is to return the patient to a healthy, fulfilling and independent lifestyle. We provide a smooth transition from the acute care setting to the post-acute setting, offering the full continuum of care ranging from inpatient rehab, outpatient therapy and home health services.
For over five years, Trinity Mother Frances Rehabilitation Hospital has consistently scored in the top tier of HealthSouth's Clinical Ranking Report (a comparison of 94 freestanding inpatient rehab hospitals). The Clinical Ranking Report measures clinical performance with regard to patient outcomes and includes but is not limited to:
o improved function of the patient
o improved independence of the patient
o percent of patients discharged back to acute care

Trinity Mother Frances Rehabilitation Hospital is the only rehabilitation hospital in east Texas to offer the AutoAmbulator. Created by HealthSouth, the AutoAmbulator is a sophisticated treadmill device using the therapeutic concept of body weight-supported ambulation and robotics to help patients with gait disorders.
Trinity Mother Frances Rehabilitation Hospital was the first facility in east Texas to initiate the use of Animal Assisted Therapy in patient treatment. For over 10 years, certified therapy animals from Therapet Animal Assisted Therapy Foundation, along with Therapet's trained volunteers, have assisted in the treatment of a wide variety of patients, improving patient strength, mobility and cognition while also helping to fill the "furry void" of the pets that patients may have at home.
Approximately ninety percent of the patients treated at Trinity Mother Frances Rehabilitation Hospital are able to return home with improved function. For more information, please contact the Director of Business Development at (903)510-7003, or by fax at (903)510-7005.
