The center specializes in treating each patient individually. Neuro-developmental techniques are offered for patients recovering from stroke and other neurological conditions. Multi-disciplined, comprehensive interventions are utilized for young children experiencing developmental delays, and the therapists have vast experience in working with autistic children.
Formerly known as the Wilson McKewen Rehabilitation, the Center was created in the mid 1950s by the Angelina County Society for Crippled Children and Adults. Shortly thereafter, Wilson McKewen, a Lufkin civic leader, worked with the Angelina County Lion’s Club and the Angelina County Mounted Patrol to raise funds to construct a new treatment facility. Following the unexpected death of Mr. McKewen in 1966, the structure was renamed in his honor—The Wilson McKewen Treatment Center. After a significant growth in services through the years, the center merged with St. Luke's Health-Memorial — making it the largest provider for comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation services in the area.
