The Patient Is Our Purpose

Safety is our number one focus at RIM. Creating a program that safely meets the needs of the patient is very important to us. Feedback from the patient and their support systems are used in creating our annual plan.  

Our Patient Satisfaction

RIM uses survey feedback from patients after discharge to improve programs. Our patients report being very satisfied with RIM’s services in 2025. In some cases it was better than other similar rehab hospitals in the nation. We work to improve in areas where our patients are not very satisfied.
