Who We Are
Peak Rehabilitation Hospital is a joint-venture partnership between Duke Health, WakeMed and Lifepoint Rehabilitation, a business unit of Lifepoint Health. With a shared commitment of providing high-quality, evidence-driven care, our state-of-the-art, 52-bed inpatient acute rehabilitation hospital is dedicated to the treatment and recovery of individuals who have experienced the debilitating effects of a severe injury or illness.
By combining Lifepoint’s rehabilitation expertise with WakeMed’s leadership as a nationally recognized health care system and Duke Health’s renown as a world-class academic medical center, our hospital brings together the strengths of each partner to make a profound impact on the lives of our patients.
As existing providers of comprehensive, CARF-accredited rehabilitation programs, we provide ongoing care and specialized treatment to patients throughout their recovery journey. We offer customized, individualized rehabilitation tailored to the specific needs of those recovering from a stroke, brain injury, neurological conditions, trauma, spinal cord injury, amputation, and orthopedic injury.
Peak Rehabilitation Hospital strives to maximize the health, function, and quality of life of those we serve through comprehensive physical medicine and rehabilitation programs. The joint venture between Duke Health, WakeMed and Lifepoint Rehabilitation will allow patients in western and southern Wake County and the surrounding region to achieve these goals, all while remaining close to home.
