The MossRehab Institute for Brain Health (MRIBH) in Willow Grove, part of Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation, hosted its Annual Alumni Gathering to celebrate the active-duty military, veteran and first responder heroes who have completed MRIBH’s intensive traumatic brain injury outpatient program. Attendees, including 25 alumni and their families from throughout the United States, enjoyed light food and drinks as well as remarks from invited guest Ben Iobst, an Iraq war veteran and retired police sergeant, whose current work focuses on veteran and first responder Post Traumatic Growth and wellness.
“The MRIBH team is honored to welcome back our alumni and are excited to celebrate the progress they continue to make using the tools and strategies learned in our program,” said Kate O’Rourke, operations director for MRIBH. “We are grateful for the opportunity to help them overcome the invisible wounds they received serving our country and communities.”
MRIBH is a comprehensive traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation program that provides interdisciplinary evaluation and treatment to active-duty military, veterans and first responders experiencing the symptoms associated with mild-to-moderate brain injury. MRIBH clinical experts work closely with program participants to determine goals and develop a personalized treatment plan.
MRIBH also educates caregivers and family members of participants about the effects of traumatic brain injury and offers guidance to better support their loved ones and themselves.
Since beginning operations in 2022, MRIBH has evaluated over 270 patients and treated 136 in the 3-week intensive outpatient program.
