Innovation, Technology and Centers of Excellence at Marianjoy

At Marianjoy, our skilled clinicians remain at the forefront of advancements in rehabilitation medicine, maximizing recovery for patients using the most innovative treatment methods available.

Marianjoy is one of a select few clinical facilities in the nation to offer such a wide-range of the newest equipment featuring virtual reality, robotics and biofeedback-technology. These devices are fully integrated into patient treatment plans and are allowing clinicians to set the standard for delivering rehabilitation care that is contributing to improved outcomes for patients recovering from illness or injury.

The Marianjoy Assistive Rehabilitation Technology Institute (MARTI) offers solutions to everyday problems of daily living encountered by individuals with a disability. MARTI applies advancements in technology to provide expert treatment including wheelchair positioning, customized orthotics, gait analysis and a variety of services that are unique to Marianjoy as a specialty rehabilitation hospital.

Part of MARTI, The Tellabs Center for Neurorehabilitation and Neuroplasticity (TCNN), delivers innovative diagnostic and treatment capabilities for adults and children with disabilities. Our advanced technology allows clinicians to begin neurorehabilitation at earlier stages of recovery, promoting brain neuroplasticity.
