Inpatient Rehabilitation Rooms at Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest Undergo Renovation

Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) continues to offer the region’s highest level of inpatient rehabilitation with recent renovations to four inpatient rehabilitation rooms at Lehigh Valley Hospital (LVH)–Cedar Crest to increase patient safety and quality of care.

“Our patients and their families are truly at the heart of everything we do. The renovations to the inpatient rehabilitation rooms at LVH–Cedar Crest will ensure that we can provide patients with the highest level of care and the best recovery possible,” says Matthew Nelson, Administrator, Inpatient Rehabilitation, LVHN.

Renovations included full glass doors to increase visibility and remote monitoring devices in each room.
