Walton is accredited by The Joint Commission and by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. Services offered range from inpatient and outpatient programs for persons recovering from stroke, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, orthopedic injuries, chronic pain and other disabling illnesses and injuries to transitional living, assisted living and other community supports. In its mission to enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities, Walton Rehabilitation Health System has grown to include not only our inpatient rehabilitation hospital and outpatient therapy services, but also physician services, Walton Community Services, Walton Wound Care and Infusion Center, Aiken Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center and Walton Foundation for Independence.

Walton cares for more stroke patients each year than any other rehabilitation hospital in Georgia.
