Since 1919, Rochester Rehabilitation has been meeting the needs of people with disabilities and other disadvantages in the community. As Rochester continues to feel the effects of the nation’s economic distress, there is an increased need for the social, health and employment services Rochester Rehabilitation provides. Annually, more than 5,000 people receive services, or participate in programs at Rochester Rehabilitation.

Rochester Rehabilitation is proud to be one of the original founding members of the Al Sigl Community of Agencies – a collaborative network that provides resources to generate and sustain the successful growth of its independent non-profit human service Member Agencies. As a pioneering, collaborative enterprise, the Al Sigl Community provides Member Agencies with high-quality, cost-effective real estate and business services, as well as raising community awareness and philanthropic support.
