Enhancements to the Laurels Family Center on the horizon
Patricia and John Walsh have generously made a six-figure gift commitment to renovate the Laurels at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital. John serves on the Main Line Health Board of Governors. Located on Bryn Mawr Rehab’s campus, the Laurels provides free-of-charge accommodations to families who want to be close to their loved one during their recovery.
Upwards of 15 to 22 families a month stay at the Laurels, from a few days to several weeks. The Walshes’ commitment will renovate ten guest rooms and private baths, and two large kitchenette and dining areas, as well as make possible the addition of a family suite and laundry room.
We are extremely grateful to Patricia and John for partnering with us and helping to create a warm and inviting space for patient families.

Introducing art therapy as part of Brain Injury Awareness Month
As part of Brain Injury Awareness Month in March, 11 patients participated in a watercolor workshop hosted by Art Ability artist and Bryn Mawr Rehab former patient, Sal Panasci. After 25 years in the advertising field and receiving numerous awards for his design work, in 1995, Sal's life took a dramatic turn. He was injured in an accident as a passenger in a taxi, which resulted in a mild traumatic brain injury and blindness in one eye.
During his initial rehab, he was encouraged to try painting in watercolor, a medium that was new to him. Sal says, “I become emotionally attached to the color palette, the texture of the paint, and the composition. Through this, the painting takes on a character of its own and a specific visual interest, allowing the viewer to recognize a familiar subject in a new fashion.”
The workshop Sal led provided patients with an opportunity for a change of pace from their traditional therapy. It was nothing short of amazing; patient feedback was very positive. One gentleman commented he discovered a new hobby. Others simply enjoyed losing themselves in the moment through the healing power of art. Supplies for the workshop were funded through the Dana Jones Art Therapy Fund.
May events benefit brain injury programs and services
On May 11, Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital and the Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania hosted more than 200 runners, walkers and rollers for the 5K race and one-mile walk/roll at the annual Race to Recovery event in East Goshen Park. Race to Recovery raises awareness and promotes safer choices to decrease the incidence and severity of traumatic brain injuries. One death every day and one brain injury every four minutes can be prevented. The race additionally provides education on the effects of a brain injury while bringing together individuals who are involved in the brain injury community. Event proceeds, over $10,000, benefit Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital and the Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania, supporting equipment, scholarship programs, school/work and community re-entry programs, support groups, as well as many educational events. The Blue Sky Band, featuring Main Line Health neurologists Dr. David Long and Dr. Thomas Graham, provided race day entertainment.
On May 22, the Bryn Mawr Film Institute presented the documentary Music Got Me Here. The documentary is about a young man, Forrest Allen, and the role music therapy played in his recovery following a snowboarding accident and traumatic brain injury. A large audience attended, and following the film, there was a Q&A with Forrest, his parents, music therapist and director. Bryn Mawr Rehab benefited from 50 percent of the ticket sales.
