On my first day as the Brain Injury Fellow, I was greeted with open arms by a multidisciplinary and diverse staff at Burke who made me feel like family. In the upcoming months, I continued to see and feel this throughout the entire workplace and how this was translated into patient and family care. The well-being of everyone is cared for at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital.
