Community Rehabilitation Interdisciplinary Service

Provides assessment and treatment for clients with complex medical conditions benefiting from a short term, time-limited, active rehabilitation program.

The Community Rehabilitation Interdisciplinary Service (CRIS) provides assessment and treatment for adults with complex medical conditions through two specialized programs: the Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation Program and the Edema Program. Both programs offer client-centered, time-limited rehabilitation services to optimize function and support self-management.

  • CRIS Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation Program provides assessment and treatment for clients with complex medical conditions requiring short-term, active rehabilitation program.
  • CRIS Edema Program offers specialized services for individuals with complex non-cancer-related lymphedema.
