Collaborative Advanced Rehabilitation, Research & Education (CARE) Center
The Collaborative Advanced Rehabilitation, Research & Education (CARE) Center provides an innovative environment where students, faculty, and researchers advance rehabilitation through hands-on learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and evidence-based practice. Complementing the acute care focus of the STAR Center, the CARE Center features realistic clinical rehabilitation settings that prepare students to improve the quality of life for individuals across the lifespan.
The CARE Center houses specialized education and research laboratories that support physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, communication sciences and disorders, and other health disciplines. Through immersive training and research opportunities, students develop the clinical skills, critical thinking, and compassionate approach needed to deliver exceptional rehabilitative care.
