Elected officials, business leaders, and clinicians unite for a ribbon cutting marking the site’s expansion, welcoming patients from Westchester and Fairfield Counties
White Plains, NY (September 12, 2024) – Burke Rehabilitation today celebrated the expansion of its Purchase/Fairfield outpatient therapy site with a ribbon cutting at their state-of-the-art facility. The newly expanded site will enhance Burke’s ability to provide high quality, one-on-one outpatient rehabilitation to more residents across the region. Elected officials, business leaders, and clinicians across Westchester and Fairfield Counties came together to celebrate the expansion of Burke’s award-winning rehabilitation and medical care.
“The expansion of our Purchase/Fairfield outpatient therapy site represents a significant step forward in our mission to increase access to high-quality rehabilitation care across this region,” said Scott Edelman, MBA, CPA, CFE, Executive Director of Burke
Rehabilitation. “This facility not only enhances our ability to provide personalized, patient-centered care, but also reaffirms our commitment to the communities we serve, ensuring that our neighbors in both Westchester and Fairfield Counties can receive the one-on-one care that sets Burke apart.”
Burke Rehabilitation Purchase/Fairfield Outpatient Therapy is a satellite facility of White Plains-based Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, which has the lowest rehabilitation hospital readmission rate in the country and is ranked on both U.S. News & World Report and Newsweek’s lists of top rehabilitation hospitals nationwide. The expanded and newly renovated site boasts over 5,000 square feet, and is located in the Purchase Professional Park, owned by Simone Development Companies in partnership with Fareri Associates.
The milestone received a written commendation from United States Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. “Comprehensive healthcare in both inpatient and outpatient settings is critically important for our communities’ ability to thrive,” said Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. “Burke has been a leader in medical rehabilitation for over one hundred years, and the expanded site marks another milestone for this institution. I applaud Burke’s continued focus in expanding access to skilled, individualized rehabilitation care across the region.”
The site serves orthopedic patients of all ages, ranging from young athletes to middle- aged and older adults, ensuring that each patient achieves the maximum functional recovery from illness, injury, or disability. The Purchase/Fairfield site offers a
comprehensive range of specialized treatments, including:
• Vestibular Therapy
• Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation
• Concussion Management
• Orthopedic Medicine & Rehabilitation
• Physical Therapy
State Senator Shelley B. Mayer said, “I am pleased to join Burke Rehabilitation for the ribbon cutting of their new Outpatient Therapy site. Burke does a tremendous job providing high-quality, compassionate care to our neighbors throughout our region. This expansion will help provide easier access for hundreds of patients in need of their high quality care. I am happy to support Burke Rehabilitation and their work for our community.”
Originally opened in 2002, the Purchase/Fairfield site was the first of Burke’s 13 outpatient facilities located throughout the tristate area. The expansion will permit Burke’s expert therapists to support up to 15,000 patient visits annually at the site. The
renovated facility’s open layout will allow therapists to use more dynamic activities and treatments to optimize patients’ functions, offering new strength and cardio equipment to help reinforce therapy sessions. The space was intentionally designed to foster a personalized healing environment for every patient, through hands-on care at individual treatment mats and privacy during initial evaluations.
“Burke Rehabilitation’s expansion at Purchase Professional Park is a testament to their commitment to providing exceptional healthcare and a powerful reminder of the vitality and innovation that defines this corridor,” said Joe Simone, President of Simone Development Companies. “We are thrilled to join Burke Rehabilitation and various local officials and clinical leaders in celebrating the unveiling of their expanded, cutting-edge facility in a convenient campus setting that’s become a hub of medical excellence.”
The Purchase/Fairfield outpatient therapy site is located at 3020 Westchester Avenue, Purchase, NY 10577. For more information and details on appointments and hours of operation, please visit the link here.
