Philippine American Physiatrist Association20 hours agoarch is Brain Injury Awareness Month, and at the Philippine American Physiatrists Association (PAPA), we believe in the power of Bayanihan—coming together as a community to support those on the road to recovery. 🇵🇭🇺🇸
Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI) and TBIs don’t just affect the individual; they affect the entire family. As physiatrists, we are dedicated to bridging the gap between injury and independence through culturally competent, comprehensive rehabilitation.
Let’s change the narrative from “surviving” to “thriving.” 🧠✨
