A Complete Continuum of Care for Medical-Surgical Services and Physical Rehabilitation

A Place to Discover What is Possible.

Casa Colina is a non-profit, freestanding, community-governed organization. With incredible support from our community, we have been privileged to bring the benefits of rehabilitation to tens of thousands of people since our first patient in 1938. In the decades that followed, we continued to expand our care to include a state-of-the-art hospital that offers acute rehabilitation and medical-surgical care, as well as a broad range of outpatient services that includes specialized physician clinics, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, neuropsychology, diagnostic imaging, children's services and even an outdoor recreation program for people with disabilities. In the pages that follow, you'll discover more about our leadership, our nearly 80-year legacy and the numerous ways we help people achieve optimum health, gain independence and return to the highest level of function possible.

A Center of Rehabilitation Excellence in Southern California

Above all else, we want to provide every individual the maximum opportunity for rehabilitation after an unexpected injury or illness, or debilitating disease. This is at the very core of everything we do here. Casa Colina is a unique Center of Excellence that provides a culture of collaboration where medical leaders and experienced physical rehabilitation experts work together to help individuals steadily progress from one level of achievement to the next. It's a complete continuum of care designed for patients at any stage of rehabilitation - from acute rehabilitation hospital care to post-acute residential and outpatient services that are conveniently accessible throughout a state-of-the-art 20-acre Pomona campus and satellite locations.

Advocacy, Aid and Awareness

Where do patients turn for help when they need financial support to continue their care at Casa Colina? Where does a parent turn for additional support for his or her child’s disability? The Casa Colina Foundation acts as a safety net for people who may greatly benefit from Casa Colina’s programs and services, but lack the ability to pay for them.

Medical Research at Casa Colina

Exploring New Ways to Enhance Care

The discoveries we make at Casa Colina are destined to not only help our patients, but others throughout the world. Each year, the Casa Colina Research Institute conducts clinical research studies to improve the clinical care of people with disabilities, and discover new findings about disabilities.

Message from the Director

Dear prospective resident,

Thank you for your interest in the OPTI-West Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency Program. Located in Pomona, California, we are an ACGME accredited PM&R program based out of Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare, a world-class provider of medical-surgical and rehabilitation care serving Southern California and beyond since 1938.

The breadth of clinical experience offered by our rehabilitation program makes us truly unique. Resident rotations include inpatient, outpatient, short-term residential (Transitional Living Center), interventional pain, orthopedic/musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, pediatrics, electromyography, consultations, and electives. Our structured continuum of care allows residents to follow the progress of patients from their initial treatment in inpatient rehabilitation all the way through transitional care and outpatient, offering valuable experience not available in most other programs.

As a teaching hospital, we challenge our residents to be active researchers. The Casa Colina Research Institute (CCRI) conducts clinical research right here on campus to discover novel interventions and improve care for people with disabilities. Our newly built PM&R residency suite is adjacent to CCRI, and residents are encouraged to participate in existing projects or request mentorship and guidance on an original idea for a research project.

Casa Colina maintains critical connections with community physicians and medical suppliers who will add value and perspective to your experience. Our campus is home to a well-respected neurosurgery group and an excellent orthopedics group. We have strong relationships with local prosthetics and orthotics specialists, whom you will work with on a weekly basis. And, thanks to our renowned Sports Medicine Program, you’ll get opportunities to volunteer at local sports events, including for the Ontario Fury soccer team.

We encourage you to apply and visit us for a campus tour and to meet our nine current residents. Casa Colina is located on 20 beautifully landscaped acres. The surrounding communities offer a range of affordable housing options. And our convenient Southern California location means you’ll get great weather year-round, with easy access to the beach, winter sports, world-class entertainment, dining, and more.

Our program offers a competitive salary, full benefits, and 20 days off per year. We hope you’ll contact us to learn more about what makes Casa Colina unique, and we look forward to meeting you.

Regards,
Dr. Justin Phillips
Program Director
