MISSION STATEMENT
The Patient is our Purpose
VISION
To achieve national prominence as a center of excellence for physical medicine and rehabilitation
History
The scourge of polio hit with a deadly and paralyzing vengeance in the 40s It attacked without warning and produced terrified victims and helpless families Detroit was in desperate need of help
What was lacking was a facility dedicated to providing rehabilitation medicine for both polio survivors and severely injured World War II veterans
A single facility was needed to integrate services that would enable the disabled to return to their communities at the highest level of independence not only physically but psychologically socially and vocationally
In 1951 Rehabilitation Institute of Metropolitan Detroit was founded at Herman Kiefer Hospital in Detroit This was also the site of the Metropolitan Detroit Polio Foundation which merged with the Rehabilitation Institute in 1953 These two partners soon realized they needed a building of their own to house all their services As a result in 1958 the Rehabilitation Institute moved to a newly built hospital at John R and Mackits current location
Although the focus of disability has changed over the years RIMs mission has remained the same providing quality patient care academic excellence and cuttingedge research in physical medicine and rehabilitation
Today RIM is considered a national leader in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation With its 94bed inpatient hospital and numerous outpatient sites located throughout southeastern Michigan RIM is also one of the nations largest freestanding rehabilitation hospitals
