Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program

A VA Clinical Program of Excellence and designated as a

Clinical Center of Excellence by the American Pain Society

Tampa, Florida

WELCOME to the Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program (CPRP), part of the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, Florida. The CPRP is an award winning, comprehensive, inpatient chronic pain treatment program established in 1988 to help veterans with chronic pain cope with their condition. Since that time we have evolved into a nationally known center for pain diagnosis, treatment, research, and education. We have been designated a VA "Clinical Program of Excellence" for pain treatment, and we are the only CARF (The Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission) accredited inpatient pain treatment center in the VA system. We accept referrals for the diagnosis and treatment of veterans with chronic pain from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
