VCU Health and Sheltering Arms Hospital collaborated on development of new rehab hospital in Richmond, Va.

Sheltering Arms Institute, a collaboration with VCU Health, will open its doors to patients in phases beginning June 13.

Bringing together clinicians, scientists, innovators and technologists, Sheltering Arms Institute draws upon the strength of both organizations to provide exceptional care in one place for individuals who have survived strokes, spinal cord injuries and brain injuries, as well as those in need of general rehabilitation for a variety of illnesses and injuries.
