Get started with an inpatient rehabilitation program
A traumatic brain injury is a life-altering event that can affect how you process information, your ability to write, read or walk, as well as your emotional responses.
Recovery from a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, requires specialized, compassionate therapy combined with innovative and advanced technologies. Our highly trained team will ensure you receive individualized care to help you build confidence and achieve your goals by maximizing neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to adapt and create new pathways to compensate for the areas lost in a traumatic injury.
As part of our brain injury program, your care team, made up of therapists, nurses, physicians, dietitians, case managers and more, will implement a treatment plan designed specifically for you.
