The Burke Rehabilitation Hospital is a non-profit, 150-bed acute rehabilitation hospital located in White Plains, New York.

Opened in 1915, Burke has been a leader in medical rehabilitation for nearly one hundred years.

Burke provides inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation to patients with a broad range of neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiac and pulmonary disabilities caused by disease or injury.

Outpatient services include physical and occupational therapy, speech, language and swallowing therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, an arthritis center, an osteoporosis screening service and varying levels of exercise programs through the Burke Fitness Center. Burke also provides support groups and educational programs.

Patients are generally from the eastern United States, but Burke also sees patients from other parts of the U.S. and abroad. It has approximately 600 employees and 14 full-time physicians.
