Neurological Rehabilitation Florida
Florida has one of the highest stroke prevalence rates in the United States, with an estimated 146,000+ stroke survivors statewide. The state also has a large and growing population of residents living with Parkinson's disease (approximately 107,000), traumatic brain injuries, and other neurological conditions. Florida's large elderly population contributes to a significant demand for intensive neurorehabilitation services.
