The Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation has been providing medical rehabilitation services ever since FDR brought the first doctors and physiotherapists to Warm Springs to create an international treatment setting for polio patients. That legacy continues today with a full array of medical rehabilitation services, including both inpatient hospitalization and outpatient services. A team of physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, respiratory therapists, recreational therapists, psychologists, dieticians and other professional staff are dedicated to a comprehensive, hands-on approach to maximize the functional gains and health improvement for each patient. This commitment to mind, body and spirit is referred to as the "Roosevelt Way".

The Roosevelt Warm Springs Rehabilitation Hospital (IRF) is located in the historic quadrangle of the Institute's campus featuring Georgia Hall, built by Georgians in 1933. The hospital is fully-licensed through the State of Georgia as an inpatient facility, and is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). The Roosevelt Warm Springs Rehabilitation Hospital specializes in the treatment of conditions that impact a person's physical functioning and requiring acute rehabilitation. With a focus on return to independent functioning, the average length of stay in the IRF is 7 - 14 days. Families are encouraged to participate and contribute, which benefits the patient's ultimate return to an independent lifestyle. Some of the conditions treated include:
