| Organization Overview |
Northeast Rehabilitation Hospital was established in 1984 by a group of physicians who saw the need to provide access to comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation services Southern New Hampshire and the Merrimack Valley. The leader of that effort, Howard Gardner, MD, was an Army Neurosurgeon who had seen, first hand, the benefits rehabilitation was offering wounded soldiers. Returning to the Merrimack Valley and establishing a neuroscience practice, New England Neurological Associates, Dr. Gardner and his associates set out to build the first free standing Acute Rehabilitation Hospital in New Hampshire. Since opening our flagship location in Salem, NH in 1984, Northeast Rehab has expanded to include a second rehabilitation hospital in Nashua, over 20 outpatient centers, a home care division, a sports medicine division, an outpatient pediatric division including school systems and many other clinics and many other services aimed at helping those in need of rehabilitation.
