Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC)

Returning to work is an important step in patients’ rehabilitation. Our Industrial Rehabilitation Program at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Braintree is an injury prevention and management program that identifies the injured worker’s current limitations and job responsibilities to create a plan to help them build confidence and perform their role safely and successfully.
