The amputee rehabilitation program at San Simeon by the Sound on the North Fork of Long Island is intended to improve quality of life and reduce medical, emotional, social and economic effects that can result from the loss of a limb. Guided by our loving and caring staff in a warm home-like nurturing environment, our goal is to help patients maximize functional independence.
