About Us
UofL Health – Frazier Rehabilitation Institute began its 60-year history in 1950 when Amelia Brown Frazier, ailing and in need of rehabilitation from a car accident in 1929, was traveling once again to New York to receive care at the Rusk Institute, a leader in the then-emerging field of physical medicine and rehab. A woman of vision saddened that the best care was not available in Kentucky, she set out to create a comparable facility in her hometown. Using her substantial personal wealth and influence, Frazier was the catalyst for the creation of The Rehabilitation Center, Inc. in 1951. In 1984, the name was changed to the Amelia Brown Frazier Rehabilitation Center to honor her leadership. In 1994, following a long relationship with UofL Health – Jewish Hospital, Frazier Rehab Institute merged with then Jewish Hospital HealthCare Services. In 2019, Frazier Rehab Institute became part of UofL Health.

Frazier Rehab Institute services include nationally recognized brain injury, spinal cord, and stroke recovery rehab programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Rehab Facilities (CARF), with research being conducted with the University of Louisville. Frazier Rehab Institute continues to be a national leader for rehabilitation services, such as the EMERGE program, which is designed to help patients with severe traumatic brain injuries and who are at low levels of consciousness, and locomotor training for post spinal cord injury patients, which allows for weight support standing and walking.
