Working for a Major League baseball team, I know just how important therapists are when recovering from an injury. When a fall left me with a broken ankle, I could have taken advantage of the team's therapists or a prestigious NY facility, but I wanted to be closer to home. I knew that The Gallen Institute at Daughters of Miriam Center in Clifton had a great reputation for subacute care and, after my stay; I saw just how well-earned that reputation was. The excellent nursing care and daily therapy sessions provided me with everything that I needed to insure that I would not only get back on my feet quickly, but that I had the strength to stay on them. The staff at the Center is as caring as they are skilled; I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing rehabilitation.
