Recovering from a brain injury is long, hard work. Building and maintaining strengths for independence is crucial. That's why Magee Rehabilitation enrolls its brain injured patients into a lifetime continuum of care that is a constant source of support and service. This approach ensures that Magee provides the most comprehensive and cost-effective rehabilitation available. It is an approach built on decades of experience improving the functional outcomes of persons with brain injury.

At Magee, clinicians from a variety of disciplines agree that the best rehabilitation occurs in the real world. So the brain injury team aims toward getting patients back to home, work, school and community settings - safely, quickly and effectively. Each case is managed from initial enrollment through community re-entry and follow-up, always focusing on the patient's tailored functional goals.
