Baton Rouge Rehab Hospital
I talked to many of the staff and they were professional and courteous. I truly enjoyed the procedure. The facility was clean and the room were the procedure was performed, was very well staffed with employees and very clean. The recovery time was very pleasant and no one rushed you out of the bed. The staff was very calm and professional with plenty information about what to do after this procedure. Thank you, Great Job!!Interventional Pain Patient, (July, 2023)
“BRRH gave me a different look on life.
Initially, I didn’t want to walk because I had trouble adjusting to my ‘new norm’. I didn’t want a prosthesis. I am so happy that I gave it a try. They helped me achieve my confidence back and now I want to advocate for women with disabilities. ”-Outpatient (May 2023)
The entire nursing staff and all of the PCA’s were very nice and helpful. They made me feel welcome and did their best to make me as comfortable as possible. The Therapy and all staff did their best in assisting me in all aspects in helping me. I was very impressed with the food and the time frame in which it was served, and I was very pleased with the service. Meals were always hot and served on time. I would deeply recommend that anyone in need come to this hospital.-Inpatient (June 2023)
Last day at rehab and it’s bitter sweet because I honestly don’t want to leave. Baton Rouge Rehab Hospital treated me with so much love and care! I just want to stay here for a little while longer. I’ve been healed inside and out.

Tears of Joy today for Mr Charles Warren. He is finally going home after recovering from Covid. He has been in the hospital for 5 months.
Family, friends and co workers from the Tangipahoa Sheriffs department came out to escort him home.
Elizabeth is in our Aquatics Maintenance class after completing PT last summer. “I look forward to getting in the warm water. It helps me physically, mentally and spiritually. Especially since I’m unable to get down in a tub due to my amputation. I use a regular prosthetic leg in the water, it just doesn’t have the cosmetic look. I usually use the stairs to get in the pool but it’s nice to have the option of the chair with a lift if my knees are hurting on the days that I come for the Maintenance class”.
Elizabeth was at Baton Rouge Rehab as an Inpatient & then Outpatient in 2018 after falling at church & breaking her tibia on the same side as her amputation. Then again in 2019 after her abdominal surgery for cancer. Click below for Elizabeth's full story!
Mr. Anthony B. is a 64-year-old gentleman who retired from Shell Oil 12 years ago as a Safety Manager. He has had issues with neck pain since his high school days playing football. Seven years ago, he had three fusions performed on his neck with not much success. Two years later, Mr. Anthony had to have the surgery repeated with an additional two more levels to be fused. Unfortunately, five years ago, Mr. Anthony re-injured his neck in a car accident. His surgeon advised against surgery because it could possibly leave him paralyzed. He was referred to a pain management physician.
When it was time for Mr. Anthony to have a pain management procedure, his physician chose Baton Rouge Rehab Hospital. Mr. Anthony stated "When I walked in the door, I knew I was at the right place. I was greeted by friendly staff who made me feel like a family member. They didn't treat me like just another patient, I felt like I was one of their own. They were concerned with how I was doing that day, and how to make me comfortable and address my pain levels until the procedure with the physician. They helped me during the whole process from preop to postop. Their communication skills with me and my family was like second to none!"
"Baton Rouge Rehab is a wonderful facility. If you ask me who my favorite is out of the staff, I say all of them. I think of the staff as my family."
Mr. Anthony is now able to return to his volunteer work in the community as a Baptist preacher. He leads Bible study at a men's prison in Plaquemine and a nursing home in Gonzales. "God has blessed me so I want to give back to Him."
Mr. Anthony's mother-in-law was having pain issues and has also had a pain procedure at Baton Rouge Rehab. He said she had to admit that he was right... wonderful people to help you manage your pain.

One year after getting the West Nile virus, a local man is back on his feet. Russell Comeaux was diagnosed with the virus Oct. 26 of last year. He said what started out as a high fever ended up being a brush with death.
"I started to have respiratory failure, had the... feeding tubes, the whole nine yards, called in the family, priest, it was pretty bad," Comeaux explained. "I think a lot of people don't realize what the invasive kind of West Nile can do, I know I didn't."
Comeaux spent two months in bed and lost 60 pounds. He couldn't lift more than two pounds by the time he made it to the Baton Rouge Rehab Hospital. A team of therapists worked with Comeaux, first teaching him to sit up, crawl, then walk on his own. They said his recovery process was similar to working with a newborn child. He had so much muscle loss that he had to start from the very beginning, re-learning how to use every muscle in his body.
"It was a helpless feeling," Comeaux said. "You don't know what you can do, but they know what you can do and how far they can push you, you've got to have somebody pushing you."
Now Comeaux walks with the assistance of a cane. He continues to come in for therapy, driving himself, in order to work on balance and strength. He says he looks at life a little different now, appreciating every moment more than before his close call. He says this is his second chance to live, and he knows he is here for a reason.
"You don't know what you were saved for, but until you find out, you try to be a better person," he said.
