Seoul Rehabilitation Hospital is planning to open a rehabilitation center for adults in March and rehabilitation hospital for children in June.

Seoul Rehabilitation Hospital is not staying satisfied with constructing high-quality rehabilitation software but it is planning to construct a hardware that can systematically create such softwares. Ongoing hospital remodeling is one of these plans. After the expanding the number of beds and remodeling preparation for about 5 years, it already opened a rehabilitation center for adults (annex, 60 beds) in March 2009 as the 1st step and it is also planning to present a rehabilitation hospital for children with seven stories above the ground in this June (main building, 50 beds).

Seoul Rehabilitation Hospital's remodeling is based on the concept of 'Green, Environment-friendly'. In this concept, all the visible and invisible environments like the interior, facility arrangement, treatment system and subsidiary facilities are all connected to treatment. To minimize fear of the hospital by handicapped children requiring long-term treatment and to make them feel comfortable like home, it especially placed various themes in many places in the hospital and reduced the atmosphere of artificial hospital by using environment-friendly materials like raw timber. All these efforts are for the purpose of the environment-friendly treatment, and in other words, green rehabilitation.

The first focus of the treatment of this hospital is specialized rehabilitation, the second is environments and finally the third is 'family'. It is because family members of a patient participate in rehabilitation treatment in this hospital. With special programs for family like education for parents in ward(children), family meeting(children․adult) and class for fathers(children), it made ways for family to participate in treatment. After the remodeling, it is planning to provide a space for family treatment where family members can rest together and participate in treatment.
