Brain injuries can cause temporary or permanent changes in the way a person thinks, moves, feels, and interacts. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability in the United States and can affect cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioral functioning.

These changes can impact both short- and long-term independence. Specialized rehabilitative care at a medical rehabilitation hospital like ours is designed to help patients regain function, maximize independence, and adapt to any abilities that may have been altered. Research supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke shows that rehabilitation can play a critical role in recovery by promoting neuroplasticity and helping individuals rebuild skills over time.
Inpatient rehabilitation programs address a wide range of needs, including:
• Decreased levels of alertness
• Eating and swallowing difficulties
• Sudden occurrences of agitation
• Prevention of medical complications
• Memory and attention problems
• Problem-solving and reasoning challenges
• Reduced awareness of personal limitations
• Social and behavioral concerns
• Mobility limitations
• Fine motor coordination deficits
• Concerns related to returning to work and job skills
Through coordinated, interdisciplinary care, patients receive specialized treatments tailored to their specific goals and challenges.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the peripheral nerves. It can cause rapid muscle weakness and tingling in the arms and legs, difficulty walking, and in severe cases, paralysis. For many patients, the onset is sudden and life-changing.

But recovery is possible — especially with early, intensive rehabilitation.

Recently, we had the privilege of caring for a patient, Hannah, who came to Green Bay Rehabilitation Hospital barely able to stand. Like many individuals diagnosed with GBS, she faced sudden weakness and uncertainty about what the future would hold.

Through focused, interdisciplinary therapy — including physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing care, and physician oversight — Hannah worked tirelessly every single day.

Just 18 days later, she walked out of our hospital to return home. 💙🎉

Her story is a powerful reminder that:
✨ Early intervention matters
✨ Intensive therapy makes a difference
✨ The human body is capable of incredible healing
✨ Determination, paired with the right care team, changes outcomes

We are so proud of Hannah and honored to have been part of her recovery journey. Stories like hers are why we do what we do every day.

If you or a loved one is facing recovery after a serious neurological condition, know that progress is possible.

During your annual physical, it’s likely that you’ve had your cholesterol checked. But do you know what it is and why it matters?

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that your body needs to build healthy cells and produce certain hormones. It comes from two sources: your liver, which makes all the cholesterol you need, and from animal-based foods like meat, dairy, and eggs.

Cholesterol isn’t harmful unless there are excessive amounts in the body. High cholesterol can form plaque on the inner walls of arteries, which can narrow and stiffen the arteries over time. This makes it harder for blood to flow and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Cholesterol is measured through a blood test that shows the levels of different types of cholesterol. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, often is referred to as the “bad” cholesterol because high levels of it contribute to plaque buildup. High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is known as “good” cholesterol because it helps to remove cholesterol from the bloodstream and carry it back to the liver. Here, it’s broken down and removed from the body, which can help prevent buildup in the walls of blood vessels and reduce the risk of plaque formation.

Once you know your cholesterol levels, you can work with your physician to control it if necessary.

This February our GBRH team proudly wore red in support of National Wear Red Day — a day dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease, the leading cause of death in women.

Wear Red Day is part of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement, which helps educate and empower women to understand their heart health, recognize warning signs, and take steps toward prevention. Heart disease doesn’t discriminate — and awareness truly saves lives.

At Green Bay Rehabilitation Hospital, caring for hearts goes beyond what we do inside our walls. We are committed to supporting the health and well-being of our patients, families, and community every single day.

We had a lot of fun showing our red today, but the message behind it is powerful: Know your numbers. Know the signs. Take care of your heart. ❤️

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most adults require at least seven hours of sleep a night to support overall health, yet about one-third of adults report routinely getting less than that recommended amount. Insufficient sleep is recognized as a significant public health concern.
The CDC identifies short sleep duration as being associated with an increased risk of chronic conditions, including hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, and depression. Adequate sleep plays an important role in regulating blood pressure, metabolism, and other physiological processes that support cardiovascular function. When sleep is consistently inadequate, these regulatory processes may be impaired, contributing to increased cardiovascular risk over time.
It’s important to remember that prioritizing sufficient, quality sleep is not a luxury. It’s an important component of maintaining heart health and reducing the risk of chronic disease.

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, often has no symptoms. It occurs when the force of blood flowing through your blood vessels is consistently too high. Over time, this increased pressure can damage blood vessel walls and raise the risk for serious health problems, including heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease.
According to the American Heart Association, the first step in managing high blood pressure is to know your numbers. Having your blood pressure checked allows you to understand your risk and determine whether treatment is needed.
If your blood pressure is elevated, you and your physician can work together to develop a plan to help manage it. This plan may include lifestyle changes or when appropriate, taking prescribed medications. Your physician can help determine the best approach for your individual needs.

With February being American Heart Month, it’s a good time to take stock and prioritize your heart health. Small, everyday choices can protect your cardiovascular system for years to come. Many risk factors associated with heart disease can be managed or prevented with healthy habits. The American Heart Association suggests:

• Getting regular checkups and talking to your doctor about blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and family history, which are factors that can increase your risk for heart attack or stroke.
• Eating a heart-healthy diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy oils.
• Staying active with at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week.
• Managing stress through calming activities and being sure to get 7-9 hours of quality sleep a night.
• Stopping smoking and limiting alcohol consumption.

Falls are a leading cause of serious injuries and death in adults aged 65 and older, according to the Harvard Medical School. The accidents can cause fractures and brain injuries, requiring hospital stays.

With intentional safety measures, many of these injuries can be prevented. To help create a safer living environment for older adults:

• Clear away hazards like loose throw rugs, electrical cords, and clutter on floors, stairs, or in hallways
• Make sure the living space is well lit and light switches are easy to reach
• Install sturdy handrails, grab bars, or raised toilet seats throughout the home
• Review medications regularly with a doctor since some may affect balance or cause dizziness
• Encourage regular physical activity to maintain strength and balance

These steps can help reduce the risk of falling and help older adults maintain safety and independence in their homes. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations.
