Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital
Enhancing the Healing Experience
Since 1972, thousands of patients have experienced exceptional, progressive, and compassionate physical
medicine and rehabilitative care at Marianjoy.
Integrating a naturally holistic and compassionate approach with the practice of rehabilitation medicine,
the new Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital in Wheaton, Illinois, is the first of its kind. The 175,000 square
foot, $60 million facility has 120 private rooms and provides patients with an array of features specifically
designed to augment medical treatment and enhance the healing environment.
The Patients We Serve
Each year, more than 72,000 patients receive Marianjoy inpatient care, outpatient therapy, and physician
services. Marianjoy’s dedicated team of clinical experts provides quality rehabilitation services to help
patients recover from injury, illness, or disease in a soothing and transforming environment which
supports the art and science of rehabilitation medicine.
Each patient floor of the hospital is divided into treatment areas that focus on specific diagnostic
conditions. Marianjoy treats adults and children who have experienced:
• Brain injuries
• Strokes
• Spinal cord injuries
• Orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions such as hip and knee replacements,
amputations, and multiple traumas
• Neuromuscular disorders and neurological conditions
such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and
Guillain-Barré syndrome
Marianjoy is committed to exceptional care, service
excellence, and outstanding patient satisfaction
which is why we subscribe to a national patient
survey to gather and process feedback from our
patients on the care we provide. Our emphasis
on medicine, therapy, research, and alternative
modalities is enhanced by a team of
professionals who believe that rehabilitation
is about the connection of the body with
the mind and spirit. It is this philosophy
of holistic healing that distinguishes
Marianjoy from other rehabilitation
facilities in the nation.

Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital
Compassionate Care in a Holistic Setting
The new Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital is a testimony to the collaboration between the architects
and clinicians who worked to create a spectacularly unique structure designed with patients and their
families in mind. The hospital facility is located on a 60-acre campus rich with ancient oaks, native prairie
growth, and wildlife. Floor-to-ceiling windows create a warm and welcoming interior which allows
natural light to flow freely through the open corridors.
120 Private Rooms
Large private rooms provide patients and their families
a tranquil, safe environment with floor-to-ceiling
windows to view the campus environment. Other
features designed for the comfort of the patient or
visitor include:
• Television with free access to movies, Internet, music and educational videos
• Wheelchair accessible private bathrooms
• Sofa that converts into a sleeper for the comfort of family members
• A safe to secure personal items
• Telephone with free local phone calls

• Free convenient garage parking
Welcoming Lobby
Meditation Room
The two-story main lobby is
enhanced by a 15-foot water wall and
stone fireplace, creating an inviting
entrance that sets the tone for
healing and serenity throughout the
entire hospital.
Available to both patients and visitors,
a soundproof, softly lit meditation
room promotes relaxation and
centering. The room features a
projected meditation mandala designed
by expert Judith Cornell, Ph.D.
Enabling Garden
Ambient Music
A central courtyard enabling garden
gives patients the opportunity
to enjoy the outdoors within the
serenity of the hospital. Complete
with soothing music and water
features for sensory stimulation,
patients can experience the healing
effects of interacting with nature.
Marianjoy patients can participate
in horticultural therapy and practice
navigating the various outdoor
surfaces they will encounter once
they return home.
To facilitate healing and promote stress
reduction, music has been customized
for the hospital by music expert and
author Don Campbell and can be
experienced in key areas of the facility.
Therapeutic Garden
A therapeutic garden incorporates
walkways of various surfaces that
augment the expanded outpatient
pavilion for patients and their
therapists to practice real world
challenges.
Authentic Labyrinth
The centrally located labyrinth garden
offers patients, families, and visitors
the opportunity to use the labyrinth
for meditation, therapy, and spiritual
reflection. Built by renowned labyrinth
expert Robert Ferré, it is an exact
replica of the Chartres Cathedral
labyrinth in France.
Two-Story Chapel
A two-story chapel incorporates
handcrafted stained glass windows,
inviting natural light to illuminate the
room and provide a peaceful view of
the wooded grounds.
“The nurse took time to
update us on my Dad’s
progress. She was very
positive, caring and
an excellent nurse.
She was always there
when we needed her.”

Marianjoy: Full Spectrum of Care
As a trusted partner during the rehabilitation process, Marianjoy delivers the intensity of services each
patient needs – from general rehabilitation to the most complex level of care.
Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation
Marianjoy provides acute inpatient care to individuals requiring intensive rehabilitation and 24-hour
hospital support. Our peaceful inpatient environment combines the medical expertise of our caring and
compassionate staff with state-of-the-art technology to meet the therapeutic needs of each patient. One of the primary goals at Marianjoy is to return patients to their homes, but some people require
additional less intensive rehabilitation. Patients who are discharged to their homes may benefit
from additional outpatient rehabilitation therapy from Marianjoy professionals, while others may
require medical care in addition to physical therapy in a Marianjoy subacute inpatient setting.
Subacute Inpatient Rehabilitation
Marianjoy provides subacute inpatient care to individuals requiring an extended stay with
less intensive rehabilitation in our own 20 bed subacute care unit on the third floor of
Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital in Wheaton. In addition, Marianjoy has partnerships with
some of the area’s leading subacute skilled nursing facilities. Within the scope of these
partnerships, physicians, nurses, and therapists are available to meet both the medical
and rehabilitation needs of all patients. Once subacute rehabilitation goals are met,
a patient may be discharged and continue to improve their level of functioning
through outpatient rehabilitation at Marianjoy.
Outpatient Rehabilitation, Physical Therapy, and Other Services
Marianjoy outpatient adult and pediatric rehabilitation includes physical,
occupational, and speech therapy, pain management, and driver rehabilitation.
The scope and intensity of Marianjoy’s outpatient services are designed to improve
the patient’s level of functioning based on the individual’s needs and the referring
physician’s recommendations.
“The therapists were firstclass, helping me do things I
thought were out of reach.”

Compassionate Care for Kids
Marianjoy recognizes that – first and foremost – every child is a cherished family member with parents,
siblings, and loved ones who play a crucial role in their health and well-being. Through Marianjoy’s familycentered pediatric inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs, each child receives individualized
treatment. The Pediatric Team is led by Marianjoy Medical Director and board-certified pediatric physiatrist,
Dr. Mary Keen, and her exceptional team of caring and compassionate professionals. Marianjoy’s pediatric
programs are designed for children from birth to 18 years of age who have physical or learning challenges
due to illness, injury or congenital causes. The team’s approach to rehabilitation tenderly addresses all
medical, therapeutic, emotional, and educational needs of the child, incorporating social development
and leisure activities into the rehabilitation process, while encouraging family and parental involvement.
The ultimate goal is to guide each child back to where he or she needs to be at this stage of life — learning,
playing, and living life to the fullest.
Starting Over:
One Child’s Five-Year Journey of Healing and Hope
In November 2003, Jenny noticed that her one-year-old son, Kevin, a bubbly, healthy normal little boy, was just not
himself. Jenny felt it might be due to an ear infection and made an appointment with his pediatrician, but later
her instincts told her not to wait, so Jenny and Mike, Kevin’s dad, took him to the emergency room.
A devastating diagnosis
A CT scan showed an abnormal amount of fluid on Kevin’s brain; he was transferred to a specialty hospital in
Chicago where the family received a devastating diagnosis: Kevin had a brain tumor the size of a tennis ball.
The neurosurgeon had never seen a tumor that large in a child Kevin’s age.
“They gave us the best- and worst-case scenarios,” explained Jenny. “The best was that they
could get it all, and Kevin would lead a normal life. The worst would be that he could die.
There wasn’t time to contemplate the future at that point. We just trusted what they were
telling us and prayed.” After eight hours of surgery there was positive news; they were able
to remove 95% of the type A tumor. The tumor, however, was cancerous.
After several weeks, Kevin’s physicians determined that he was stable enough to begin
rehabilitation and recommended Marianjoy. Mike toured Marianjoy, and although he
usually has a strong dislike for hospitals, he found the welcoming atmosphere
reassuring and decided to entrust Marianjoy with Kevin’s care.
Starting all over again
Kevin’s rehabilitation was going to be like starting life
all over again. Similar to an infant, he was unable to
move or roll himself over, let alone speak or sit up
unassisted.
“I was scared when we arrived at
Marianjoy because I didn’t know what
to expect,” Jenny said. “But the staff
quickly put me at ease. They explained
everything, answered all my questions,
and were concerned not only about Kevin’s
needs, but also our needs as parents.”
Kevin struggled to relearn even the simplest movements. Eventually with
therapy at Marianjoy, he learned to roll himself over and began picking up
pieces of food from his plate. Progress was slow but steady and promising.
Positive milestones in rehabilitation
In January 2004, on his second birthday, the family received a wonderful gift – Kevin was well
enough to go home. By then he was crawling, could say a few words, and was using his hands
more to pick up larger objects like his toys. He returned to Marianjoy for outpatient therapy
to work on his balance, standing, fine motor skills and speech.
In August 2004, Kevin pulled himself up to a standing position, and not long after, therapists
had him using a walker. By 2006, Kevin had the strength and balance to walk unaided.
Creative therapies keep a six-year-old engaged
Today Kevin still receives outpatient therapy at Marianjoy. He works with his therapists on cognitive issues,
coordination and balance.
Kevin especially enjoys working with his therapists while using the Nintendo® Wii™ — a video game for
television which simulates a variety of sports with the use of a remote handheld controller. Using the bowling
and boxing games, Kevin and his therapists work on his balance and hand-eye coordination. “The Wii game is
all he talks about!” laughs Jenny.
“After every appointment, the therapists tell me how well he did and what they worked on, and give me
activities I can do with him at home. I appreciate them offering me creative suggestions so that it doesn’t
seem like therapy to him.”
Thrilled with Kevin’s progress
“The care at Marianjoy is excellent!” Jenny enthusiastically reports. “When Kevin was an inpatient, we saw the
doctor every day and were able to ask questions and discuss issues with her. The nurses and therapists were
very accommodating and allowed me to participate in his care. If he wasn’t having a good day, they provided
therapy in his room.”
“Kevin’s outpatient therapists are really wonderful,” she continues. “If something isn’t working, they adjust.
It’s evident that Kevin’s best interests are at heart. We are really thrilled with Kevin’s progress.”
Recently, Kevin had follow-up appointments with both his neurologist and oncologist who were shocked to
see his progress. “They told me that after the surgery they doubted if Kevin would ever walk or speak again,”
Jenny says. “Now he is running around, acting like any other little boy. In all honesty, I don’t think I really
believed that Kevin would ever walk or talk again either. Now I turn around and there he is — learning to
hop on one foot!”
The best place for rehabilitation
When asked whether they would
recommend Marianjoy to others,
Jenny doesn’t hesitate.
“I would encourage
anyone whose
child is in
need of therapy to come to Marianjoy,” she
states. “It’s the best place for rehabilitation.
We never questioned if we made the right
decision about bringing Kevin to Marianjoy.
He couldn’t have received better care
anywhere else.”

Rehabilitation Program, Dr. Mary Keen

related to pediatrics and rehabilitation.
