The words we use to talk about brain injury matter. They affect how people understand and think about injuries, get support, and live well.

Last year, Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems Investigators, healthcare professionals, researchers, and people with lived experience came together to create new guidance for clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and people with lived experience (survivors, care partners) of brain injury on communicating about brain injury.

Key message: Brain injury doesn't define a person. It's just one part of who they are.

Check out our blog article about the joint statement on communicating about brain injury here: https://rehabilitationresearch.jefferson.edu/news/2025/joint-statement-brain-injury.html

Congratulations to Emily McCormick, Advanced Clinical Pharmacist, on receiving a Mission Moment Award! Late in the day, a patient needed an urgent medication located at an off-site pharmacy. Emily stepped in without hesitation and walked to another location to retrieve the medication, ensuring the patient could begin treatment that same day. Thank you, Emily, for your extraordinary compassion and commitment to timely care!

We’re proud to recognize Dr. William Gardner for his extraordinary compassion and dedication to a patient at Magee with a Mission Moment award! Supporting a patient recovering from a stroke with complex cognitive, communication, and behavioral challenges, Bill consistently went above and beyond by assisting therapists, joining telehealth visits, and partnering with nursing staff. On the day of discharge, Bill stayed well past his shift to ensure the patient was comfortable, cared for, and ready for a smooth transition. Thank you, Dr. Gardner, for your unwavering commitment to our patients.

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, property owners are required to clear a path of at least three feet to ensure accessibility for pedestrians, including those using wheelchairs or other mobility aids. So if you're healthy and able, get out there, clear a path, and keep you and your community safe during this snowy weekend.

After decades of struggling with the effects of a service-related brain injury, Scott Edgell found answers and support through a program at our MossRehab Institute for Brain Health. Through our intensive outpatient program, Scott learned what was happening to his brain and gained practical tools to manage his symptoms. His journey is one of understanding, adaptation, and renewed confidence in daily life, proving that healing can begin even years after injury.

After a service-related brain injury left him with lasting effects, Scott Edgell found relief through a rehabilitation program for veterans called the MossRehab Institute for Brain Health.

On the day of discharge, he even stayed late to ensure the patient was comfortable, cared for, and ready for the transition.
