About The Position

Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital for Rehabilitation is a 24-hour inpatient hospital caring for infants, children and adolescents with complex medical and rehabilitation needs.

They get to know patients and families, celebrate milestones, provide education and support families as they transition home.

The Rehabilitation Unit serves children recovering from traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries, burns, complex surgeries, severe illnesses, wounds and other conditions requiring intensive rehabilitation.
