About our history
In 1946, the Kaiser Foundation Rehabilitation Center was founded in Washington, D.C. as the Kabat-Kaiser Institute and moved to Vallejo two years later. For more than 60 years, the Center has treated people with disabling conditions such as strokes and brain or spinal cord injuries. The Center is a licensed rehabilitation hospital within the Kaiser Permanente Vallejo Medical Center.
