Short-term rehabilitation · Brownwood, Texas
Recovery is a training plan. We write it with you.
Coggin Avenue is a 48-suite short-stay rehabilitation center across from the medical center, for people getting strong again after surgery, a stroke or a hard hospital stay. Goals you can see, therapy six days a week, and a date for going home.
- 48private rehab suites
- 16average days to home
- 6therapy days a week
How we work
A whiteboard in every suite, and your goals on it.
When you arrive, your therapist writes three goals on the whiteboard in your suite: the walk to your mailbox, the steps up to your porch, the drive to church. Every morning the whole team looks at that board. When all three are checked off, you go home.
Lauren Whitcomb, a physical therapist turned administrator, opened Coggin Avenue in 2006 because she was tired of watching patients from Brown, Coleman and Mills counties drive two hours for rehab. Our therapy gym looks more like a training center than a hospital, and our patients go home in about sixteen days.
— Lauren Whitcomb, PT, administrator

Sample family reviews
Finished goals
My three goals were the mailbox, my porch steps and my granddaughter's softball game. I made all three. Day fourteen.
After my amputation I didn't think I'd walk again. Jordan had me on the parallel bars with my new leg in the first week.
We didn't have to drive to Abilene every day. That alone saved my family.
Kim worked with Dad's swallowing every day after his stroke. He's eating chicken-fried steak again.
The whiteboard sounds simple. It kept everybody honest, including me.
Rachel gave us a date on day two and they hit it to the day.
Maria came to my house and found the rug that would have put me right back in the hospital.
The nurses caught an infection early and treated it with IV antibiotics right there.
I keep coming back to the gym as an outpatient. They still check my goals.
Admissions had my insurance approved before I left the hospital.
They pushed me harder than I wanted, and I'm grateful every time I climb my stairs.
