Boca Raton Regional Hospital Kicks Off Partnership with Shepherd Center

 

 

Boca Raton Regional Hospital and Shepherd Center announced today a new partnership aimed at attaining the best possible outcomes for people in the South Florida area who have complex neurological conditions.

The partnership is a new research-based and training affiliation, making Boca Raton Regional Hospital (BRRH) the first healthcare facility in Florida to become an affiliate of the Shepherd Center Care Network. The partnership also provides assistance with helping patients locate rehabilitation equipment in their area, as well as educational materials for patients and families during care transitions, such as returning to their communities.

“Our affiliation with Shepherd Center will ensure our patients with neurological injuries or illnesses have access to the expertise at Shepherd, one of the top facilities in the nation for medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for spinal cord injury, brain injury and other complex neurological conditions,” said Jerry Fedele, president and CEO of BRRH. “It will most certainly compliment the outstanding capabilities we have at our newMarcus Neuroscience Institute.”

Shepherd Center will support clinical and rehabilitation staff at BRRH by providing on-site and distance learning educational sessions covering complex neurologic diagnoses and collaborate on opportunities for discussion on standards of care.
