March is Brain Injury Awareness Month! This is a very significant focus for Saint Alphonsus Rehabilitation Services (STARS). The Saint Alphonsus Health System/Saint Alphonsus Rehabiitation Services (STARS) continuum of care is the only system of care in the Intermountain West that provides a complete continuum of care for people recovering from concussions and more severe brain injuries. Saint Alphonsus is the only Level 2 Trauma Hospital in the Treasure Valley Region. The Brain Injury Program at STARS provides comprehensive/interdisciplinary rehabilitation services to people who have sustained a brain injury.
Our system of care promotes the highest quality of care and supports the involvement of health care providers throughout the continuum. Additionally, Saint Alphonsus Health System/Saint Alphonsus Rehabilitation Services (STARS) is networked with many local and statewide resources to facilitate patient’s transition to their home communities.
