Community Services and Programs
The depth and breadth of Brooks Rehabilitation’s community programs and services are unique from any other health system – rehabilitation or acute – in the country. From adaptive sports to our Aphasia Center and Brain Injury Clubhouse – plus, much more in between – these programs provide a variety of health and wellness options that promote the physical, social and emotional well-being of those with differing abilities.
Through generous partners, supporters and volunteers, Brooks removes barriers to participation by offering all our programs at little or no cost for participants of all ages and backgrounds.
