Magee Rehabilitation Hospital has a spinal cord injury "SCI" ​​program has 4,000 patients and is following up with another 3,500 to 4,000 patients. Magee partnered with Thomas Jefferson University Hospital to set up a Regional Spinal Injury Center from the Delaware Valley. This federal government modeled care system is one of 14 in the country to provide coordinated lifelong care for people with SCI and their families. The Magee SCI program is also accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

The program provides patients and families with ongoing access to rehabilitation and professional physicians to help patients maintain or regain good levels of physical and health function.
Magee partnered with Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to offer the NeuroRecovery Network (NRN). NRN is part of the Locomotor Training Program, which is activity-based therapy.

History
Anna Justina Magee is a 5th generation descendant of Johann Christian and Christina Kneass who arrived in Philadelphia from Rotterdam in September 1753. Miss Magee was born on January 21, 1843, the fourth daughter and one of the seven children of James and Caroline Magee. In his Will, to commemorate his parents, he grants Professor Magee Medicine at The Jefferson Medical College. And, with a $ 1.285,000 prize, he founded what is now the Magee Rehabilitation Hospital.
Anna Magee believes that the City hospital ward is overcrowded because patients in need, even though they can not continue their work or normal duty, remain there too long after passing through the early stages of acute illness or injury. He also does not want the family of patients burdened with their support. He envisioned the hospital for a recovery period - one, he declared that it should ensure "the highest level of comfort and fair health," in a "grand and dignified" building where "no money should be misused for architectural ornaments."
Under Chair C. Stevenson Newhall, M.D., the first board meeting took place on 2 June 1925. A committee was appointed to study the will, survey hospital needs, and come up with the best plan to follow. At the next meeting the board decided that construction should not start until $ 2.5 million was accrued, and that money for sites and buildings must come from income, not the main holdings on the estate.
Dr. Howard A. Rusk, from the Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine in New York City, points out that rehabilitation, not recovery, is better able to return the army to their previous abilities. Also, Frank H. Krusen, M.D., called The Father of Physical Medicine, is developing theories and treatments in physical medicine while treating disabled patients and chronic diseases at the Mayo Clinic.
In 1954, the Orphan Court in Philadelphia allowed the use of the Magee Trust Fund to set up a rehabilitation center, deciding that rehabilitation is now seen as a form of dynamic healing care and that the service is consistent with Anna Magee's wishes.
The search for the founding director of the hospital led to H. Frazer Parry, M.D., who had studied with Drs. Rusk and Krusen. He took over the post in September 1955, setting up an office space at 1500 Walnut Street where he worked with the team to find a suitable building for the hospital.
A used factory at 1513 Race Street is ideal because of its central location, open floor space, and relatively few walls to be lowered. The building was purchased from the American Meter Company, and construction and renovation began in December 1956. The total project cost, designed for 39 patients, amounted to approximately $ 2.5 million.
The opening ceremony for Magee Memorial Hospital for Convalescents was held on March 9, 1958, and with 30 on-site staff, the hospital, the first of its kind in Philadelphia, began admitting to patients the next day. In the first two years, about 57 percent of the treatment is free.
Leading way in innovative techniques and rehabilitation therapies from the start, Magee Rehabilitation is now recognized as one of the best rehabilitation hospitals in the country, due to Anna Magee's vision and her heritage to communities in the Philadelphia area.
