The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center (PNRC) is the largest rehabilitation facility in
the state of Tennessee and surrounding areas providing treatment to individuals who have
suffered injuries resulting in physical or mental disabilities. PNRC
serves its patients by empowering them through physical rehabilitation, recreational rehabilitation,
and relearning of day-to-day activities to cope with their recent disabilities.
Patients benefit from rigorous daily therapies with trained professionals
specializing in rehabilitative fields. Once they regain the ability to function in their outside lives,
they have the opportunity to participate in an array of community activities designed for
continued learning and recreation through the Patricia Neal
Innovative Recreation Cooperative (IRC).
