BIAPA welcomes Encompass Heath Rehabilitation Hospital of Altoona to the Brain Injury Ambassador Program.

BIAPA welcomes Encompass Heath Rehabilitation Hospital of Altoona to the Brain Injury Ambassador Program. We are so pleased to be able to offer the services of our trained volunteer ambassadors to brain injury patients and families in this facility. Our Ambassador volunteers, who all have lived experience with brain injury, offer an important personalized connection for families and serve as a bridge to connection with BIAPA resources and programs. Ambassadors connect with patients and families through a one- time phone conversation, during which they give an overview of some of BIAPA’s programs and how to access information.  Patients are also sent a free packet of educational information and resource materials. We are looking forward to working with new hospitals and welcome inquiries about our ambassador program from other hospitals or rehab providers!
