Research is one of the three key core missions of Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS), along with patient care and education. Carolinas Rehabilitation is actively involved in research and clinical trials. The mission of our research is to promote clinical excellence, optimize outcomes, determine patient and family needs, and develop and improve treatments. We conduct research aimed at improving function and community participation, while increasing our knowledge of recovery and obstacles to recovery. Research is an integrated part of our clinical care and resident education.
