New Issue of Spinal Column Features a Day in the Life of a Patient in Shepherd Center's Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program

The fall 2018 issue of Shepherd Center's quarterly magazine is now available for download as a PDF file here. Subscribers to the print version will receive copies via postal mail in the coming days.

In Shepherd Center's Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program, the entire team takes a family- and patient-centered approach to help guide treatment. 

“The team approach is important, as is having a patient’s desires and goals used to push therapy,” Dr. Dennison explains. “It only happens when you take a mindful approach tailored to the individual.”

Cole Burton, who sustained a brain injury when he was hit by a car, illustrates Shepherd’s interdisciplinary approach to helping people on their road to recovery from traumatic brain injury. It focuses on individualized therapy, outside-the-box thinking, and a top-to-bottom culture of empathy, hope and real-world preparedness.

This edition's cover story shows Cole's journey back from traumatic brain injury.

The magazine also includes these stories among inspiring patient profiles, event updates, honorariums and memorials.
