Reactivation Care Centre

Sinai Health operates the RCC in partnership with University Health Network and Trillium Health Partners. Patients take part in an inpatient rehabilitation program in a calm setting where they can set their rehabilitation goals and work on strength, mobility and function with an experienced Sinai Health care team.

Patients and families play an active role in setting goals and working toward them. The clinical team and other health-care partners also help patients prepare to return home or to the community.

The RCC supports the Ministry of Health and Ontario Health’s commitment to expand hospital capacity across the Greater Toronto Area. It helps connect patients with the care they need, when and where they need it most.
