An Ongoing Commitment to the Community

  Path: Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital < About Bryn Mawr Rehab <

Advocacy for People with Disabilities and a Commitment to Injury Prevention

The dedication and passion we bring to treating people with functional limitations is matched by our commitment to preventing disabilities.  To that end, we have developed a number of aggressive community outreach, preventive education, wellness and scholarship programs.  We also work within the local community and beyond to assist individuals in need who are physically and cognitively challenged.


Advocacy
Through membership and active participation, we support the efforts of the Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania (BIAPA), the Pennsylvania Association of Rehabilitation Facilities (PARF), the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), the Delaware Valley Stroke Council (DVSC), the Hospital & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP), the ALS Association, the Multiple Sclerosis Society, the American Medical Rehabilitation Providers Association and other groups that raise awareness about disabling injuries and illnesses.  We advocate for these issues on the local, state and national levels, and we create community events to promote understanding.  Contact other support organizations.




Patient Therapy and Scholarship
To assist patients who can no longer afford to continue their care with us, we award grants to qualified applicants to help with therapy, follow-up care, and prosthetic and assistive devices ranging from splints to powered wheelchairs.  This fund is supported through the generosity of the community, Delaware Valley businesses, foundations, and the entire hospital family. Learn more about giving opportunties!




Cruisin' Not Boozin'
Since 1989, graduates of our brain injury program have shared vivid accounts of their drinking or drug-related car accidents and prolonged recoveries with students and young adults.  Two out of every three students surveyed about the Cruisin' not Boozin' presentations at their schools indicated their attitudes toward drinking and driving changed.  More than 90 percent said the program convinced them not to drive after drinking.  This prize-winning program has reached more than 500,000 students in five states and is especially popular during spring prom season.  Learn More!



Art Ability
Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital's annual international juried Art Ability exhibit, which began in 1995, provides a marketplace and showplace for the talents and tenacity of artists with disabilities from throughout the United States, Canada and other foreign countries.  In addition to prize money, participating artists receive 80 percent of the purchase price for their artwork, with 20 percent going to the hospital to support patient services.  Art Ability has won numerous awards for helping to increase public awareness about the abilities and exceptional accomplishments of people with physical and cognitive disabilities.  Learn More!




 

Volunteer Association
We are proud to have an organization of dozens of committed volunteers who provide about 15,000 hours of service each year to the hospital and its patients. Our volunteers are students, parents and grandparents, working professionals and reitrees who all share a commitment to serve.  BMRH volunteers are part of a team of caring and committed personnel who assist patients on their road to recovery.   Please contact the Volunteer Department at (610) 251-5599.  Learn More About Our Many Volunteer Opportunities!
