Brooks Center for Rehabilitation Studies
Director:
College of Public Health and Health Professions - Dean's Office
(Department of Health Services Administration)
The Brooks Center for Rehabilitation Studies was created in 1999, as a result of a collaboration between the College of Health Professions at the University of Florida and Brooks Health System. The Center was endowed with a $2.5 million gift from the Brooks Health Care Sysytem in 2000. The goal of the Center is to foster a strong relationship between scientific medical research and the application of rehabilitation, particularly the treatment of individuals with brain and spinal cord injuries. The Brooks Center will endeavor to create recommendations about "best practices" in this ever changing and highly individual discipline of medicine. The hope is to advance the science, and improve patient outcomes while reducing the costs of treatment. The Brooks Center will also utilize its research and studies to influence changes in public policy regarding medical rehabilitation and the treatment of those with disabling injuries and illness
