Instituto de Medicina Física e de Reabilitação - HC/IMREA

O Instituto de Medicina Física e de Reabilitação (IMREA) da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, Hospital das Clínicas, (FMUSP-HC) teve início em 1958, quando a USP firmou um convênio com a Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) criando o Instituto Nacional de Reabilitação (INAR), mais tarde denominado Instituto de Reabilitação (IR), que inspirou estudos e pesquisas que resultaram na criação do Centro de Reabilitação do Hospital das Clínicas, inaugurado em 1975. Inicialmente denominado Divisão de Reabilitação Profissional de Vergueiro (DRPV), em julho de 1994 passou a se chamar Divisão de Medicina de Reabilitação (DMR). Em janeiro de 2009, tornou-se mais um Instituto do Sistema FMUSP-HC, recebendo sua atual denominação. Possui, atualmente, quatro unidades: Vila Mariana, Lapa, Umarizal e Clínicas, que, atualmente, integram a Rede de Reabilitação Lucy Montoro.

Atende aos portadores de deficiência física, transitória ou definitiva, buscando desenvolver o seu potencial físico, psicológico, social, profissional e educacional, através de serviços médicos especializados com equipe multiprofissional onde trabalham médicos, enfermeiros, assistentes sociais, terapeutas ocupacionais, fisioterapeutas, fonoaudiólogos, odontólogos e psicólogos.
