Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or Acquired Brain Injury Rehabilitation

Recovering from a traumatic or acquired brain injury can be a long journey. Acute inpatient rehabilitation may be recommended to help restore function and improve independence.

At Strong Memorial Hospital, our dedicated rehabilitation team focuses on both the physical and emotional well-being of our patients.
