The Evelyn and Joseph I. Lubin Rehabilitation Center of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine hospital here has been dedicated as a special wing of the new college hospital in the Bronx. The center was made possible by a gift of $1, 300, 000 from Mr. and Mrs. Lubin to the College of Medicine.
Some 250 doctors and other rehabilitation medicine experts participated in the dedication of the center which has facilities for treatment and re-training of every type of disability. The facilities include a homemaking laboratory, a work laboratory, a machine for testing muscle tones, combination treatment and wading hydrotherapy and a controlled environment diagnostic laboratory.
In the center’s 22-bed in-patient department there is a dining room and a living room-recreation area, all designed to encourage patients to be as active as possible, according to Dr. Arthur Abramson, chairman of the College Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, whose faculty staffs the Lubin Center.
