Program Summary

Work hardening is an interdisciplinary, individualized, job-specific program designed to return injured people to full-duty work. Summit Rehabilitation is a Washington State Labor & Industries approved work hardening facility. This means we work with employees to assure they return to full function, while also ensuring L&I standards compliance.

Our work hardening programs can use either real or simulated work tasks and exercises, customized to the individual and his/her job requirements.
