Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network
Good Shepherd Rehabilitation, an independent, not-for-profit rehabilitation network with more than 60 locations in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is committed to helping patients of all ages and abilities on their rehabilitation journey. Good Shepherd provides inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, long-term acute care, long-term care, physician services and community-based services. We specialize in treatment of spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, major multi-trauma, pulmonary disease, respiratory failure, musculoskeletal/orthopedics and complex pediatric conditions. Good Shepherd traces its pioneering spirit for innovation and compassionate care to its founding family, The Rev. John “Papa” Raker and D. Estella “Mama” Raker. In 1908, the Rakers opened the Good Shepherd Home to care for children with disabilities and senior citizens, filling an unmet community need — and setting the stage for Good Shepherd’s continued growth as a rehabilitation groundbreaker. Good Shepherd also partners with Penn Medicine to provide rehabilitation and specialty services in the greater Philadelphia area and New Jersey through Good Shepherd Penn Partners.
