March 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Centre
for Neuro Skills (CNS), a premier provider of traumatic and
acquired brain injury rehabilitation services, announced today that
all patient therapy sessions will be delivered remotely via its
existing telehealth technology.
"Centre for Neuro Skills has taken steps to maintain the
continuity of care for our patients during the COVID-19 pandemic,"
said David Harrington, president and
COO of Centre for Neuro Skills. "Based on guidance from the Centers
for Disease Control and local health officials, we are now remotely
delivering the same high-quality, individualized treatment to
individuals recovering from brain injury. Our highest priority is
the safety and health of our patients, staff and the public.
Telehealth is one example of how CNS is providing innovative
care to its patients."
All CNS patients -- day treatment, outpatient and in-patient --

includes the full spectrum of CNS' therapeutic treatments and
patient communications, including: counseling, speech therapy,
physical therapy, occupational therapy, education therapy, case
