The Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation System
Welcome to the Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation System. We’ve been breaking boundaries since 1891, when we began our mission with a single patient bed in a hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Today, our system has grown to nearly 50 hospitals and providers. Together, we’re on a mission to revolutionize patient care and rehabilitation.
Every Mary Free Bed team member is essential in restoring hope and freedom through rehabilitation. Whether you’re ensuring hospital safety, providing clinical care, or guiding the patient experience, we’re united in our mission to create a better future for all.
