Assesses and treats people with multiple fractures, moderate to severe acquired brain injuries, or multiple system injuries. These individuals are ready for outpatient rehab after being in acute care or an in-patient rehabilitation centre. They also welcome people who are already living in the community who still have ongoing goals to be more independent and active, whether it’s returning to work, going back to school or participating in the community. Services provided through Complex Injury Outpatient Rehab are usually not covered by OHIP. In most cases, services are covered by third parties such as motor vehicle insurance, the Work and Safety Insurance Board (WSIB), and/or extended health benefits.
