If the brain had a superpower, it just might be neuroplasticity.

After a brain injury, neural connections can be damaged or lost. Fortunately, brains are resilient and can reorganize through neuroplasticity, the process of creating new neural connections to bypass damaged areas of the brain. Therapeutic activities often involve repetitive tasks and practice, which strengthen existing neural pathways or stimulate the formation of new ones.

When appropriate for a patient, robotic technology allows individuals to perform a much higher number of specific repetitive movements during a treatment session as compared to a conventional session.

More repetitive movement is accomplished through devices that propel movement. The devices include sensors that monitor, assist and provide precise support for a patient’s position and movements.

By taking advantage of the brain's potential to reorganize, individuals with brain injuries can regain lost abilities and improve their overall quality of life.

When someone is recovering from a stroke, brain injury or other serious illness, even something as simple as chewing can be a major challenge. That’s where our dietitians step in.

Our dietitians use transitional foods — foods that melt or soften easily — to help patients safely relearn chewing and swallowing skills. These small bites have big impacts like renewed confidence at mealtimes, greater independence and returned joy to eating.

On Dietitian Day, we celebrate the experts who turn nourishment into healing on the path to recovery.

Life after a brain injury is different for each person depending on the severity of the injury.

At least 2.8 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury annually, according to the Brain Injury Association of America.

Across our hospital network, we support patients through every stage of brain injury recovery—from critical illness and inpatient rehabilitation to neuro transitional care and outpatient therapy.

Case managers, our social work professionals, guide patients and families through the recovery journey with compassion and clinical expertise. Starting at admission, they coordinate resources and services for patients while in our hospitals as well as after discharge.

A brain injury can go unnoticed, which is why doctors rely on multiple tools to assess them. Imaging studies such as computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide detailed views of the brain and can reveal bleeding, swelling or structural changes. Early evaluation and testing is essential because it guides that patient’s treatment plan. Doctors ask questions to assess memory, attention and problem-solving skills. They also perform a full evaluation of the patient, while therapy teams look at movement, speech and daily skills to see how the injury is affecting life in real-time.

There are two types of brain injury — traumatic and non-traumatic — which stem from different causes. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a disruption in normal brain function caused by an external force such as a bump, blow or jolt to the head often occurring in an accident, sports injury or fall. Non-traumatic brain injuries are damage to the brain caused by internal factors, such as illness or oxygen deprivation. Non-traumatic brain injuries are often considered a type of acquired brain injury and consist of strokes, tumors or cardiac arrest.

Using advanced diagnostic tools and patient evaluations, our rehabilitation hospitals determine the right path forward for each patient. Guided by physician-led multidisciplinary teams, every patient undergoes a full assessment and receives a customized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs.

For Heart Month, we’re sharing Jessica Ziemba’s story — a powerful reminder of courage and recovery.

Jessica expected a quick pacemaker procedure. Instead, she spent months in the hospital facing major heart and kidney complications. When she arrived for inpatient rehabilitation, she was weak, tired and unsure of what she could do.

With the help of her care team, Jessica built strength every day — practicing her steps using the parallel bars, climbing stairs, doing daily tasks and learning how to conserve her energy. Her family trained with her so they could continue to support her at home.

After 19 days, Jessica walked on her own and felt ready to return to her life. “Keep going,” she said. “Change doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen.”

Today we celebrate Pharmacist Day and recognize the vital role our pharmacy team plays in patient care.

From pre-admission to post-discharge, our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians work behind the scenes and at the bedside to ensure patient safety. Before a patient arrives, they review and reconcile medications, checking that everything is in order. During a hospital stay, they independently manage multiple medications and make adjustments as needed. At discharge, patients receive counseling and follow-up support to help them stay on track.

Our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are more than medication experts — they are partners in recovery.
