With these two new accreditations, CMRC now holds the
distinction of having the highest number of CARF accreditations for
rehabilitation programs in the United
Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, totaling eight unique recognitions. These
include Inpatient Adult Rehabilitation, Pediatric Inpatient
Rehabilitation, Adolescent Inpatient Rehabilitation, Stroke Adult
Inpatient Rehabilitation, Long-Term Acute Care Adult Inpatient
Rehabilitation, Adult Outpatient Rehabilitation, Children
Outpatient Rehabilitation Program, and Adolescent Outpatient
Rehabilitation.
The Long-Term Acute Care Program plays a crucial role in
ensuring continuity of care for patients, significantly alleviating
the pressure on inpatient bed capacity in acute care hospitals
across the healthcare sector. Additionally, with the acquisition of
the prestigious Stroke Specialty Rehabilitation accreditation, CMRC
aspires to become the Center of Excellence for Stroke
Rehabilitation in the GCC region. This ambition is founded on its
extensive expertise and experience amassed over the past 10 years
in the Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care sector in the region.
The Stroke Specialty Rehabilitation and Long-Term Active
Programs involve specialized clinical rehabilitation teams
including Intensive Care Physicians (ICU Doctors), Anesthesia
Physicians, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Physicians,
Internal Medicine Physicians, General Practitioners, Skilled
Nursing teams, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech
& Language Pathologists, Psychologists, Case Managers, Patient
Experience teams and Social Workers. The holistic approach helps
patients combat stroke-induced health issues and any decreased
abilities that they may face including cognitive dysfunction,
speech and language issues, physical disabilities, the risk of
future strokes, and more.
CARF, an independent, nonprofit accreditor of health and human
services, based in the United
States, stands as the international gold-standard for its
recognition of patient-care excellence in categories such as
Comprehensive Integrated Inpatient and Outpatient Rehabilitation,
Residential Rehabilitation, Occupational Rehabilitation, as well as
Stroke Specialty Rehabilitation.
The CARF accreditation was based on the demonstration of CMRC's
substantial conformance to global standards for these programs. The
commission highlighted the crucial role of CMRC leadership and
clinical teams in achieving exceptional clinical outcomes for
stroke patients admitted to its facilities. The commission's
decision was reinforced by multiple aspects, including but not
limited to the beautiful and well-maintained facilities that meet
the personalized needs of each patient, patients and families
inclusion in the care plan and goals progress, the effective system
in place for documenting, measuring and tracking the rehabilitation
outcomes, the exceptional trained and experienced staff that can
serve different patients' profiles, and the remarkable holistic
Patient Experience approach that makes the patients and their
families feel that CMRC is their Second Home.
Dr. Howard Podolsky, the Group
CEO for CMRC, commented on this milestone, "Reaching this
milestone, I congratulate everyone in CMRC for their well-deserved
achievement that wouldn't happen today without their hard work and
commitment to caring for our patients and restoring hope for a
better future. CMRC stands as a pioneer in the healthcare industry
to achieve new benchmarks that represent our commitment to
world-class quality care and providing substantial value to our
communities in the UAE and KSA."

to providing its services and ensuring world-class quality care for
its patients across the UAE and KSA. This commitment is supported
by the organization's approach to ensure a dynamic blend of
geographic expansion and service diversification across the GCC
region.
