The Institute of Physical Medicine, or IPMR, as we are known, has been a strong presence in central Illinois since 1950. Founded to care for injured war veterans and people with polio,IPMR assembled the prestigious "Peoria plan" for rehabilitation, which became the model for rehablilitation in countless centers across the country. The Institute has always devoted itself to the treatment of injury and chronic illness and to the health and well-being of an aging population. We are committed to serving the changing medical rehabilitation needs of the community.
