About Us
The Brain Injury Network is an information source for people with Acquired Brain Injury and their families and friends. Much of the content of this site was developed by survivors of Acquired Brain Injury.
This website was developed by Rehab, an international organisation providing services including brain injury services. Support was provided for this project by Covidien.
Covidien has been a supporter of Rehab for many years, both in the provision of employment opportunities to clients of RehabCare and as a valued customer of Rehab Enterprises. Covidien is delighted to collaborate with Rehab for the launch of the Acquired Brain Injury website. Through the Covidien Partnership for Neighbourhood Wellness, Covidien is committed to contributing to the availability of affordable, quality healthcare around the world. The Company provides funds for local programs that support care and treatment for specific diseases and injuries and address the needs of the communities in which it operates. Identifying worthy projects and being in the position to assist organisations such as Rehab is a real privilege. We’re looking forward to working with Rehab as the website develops.
