About Us

History

The founders of BINA experienced the upheaval of brain injury firsthand when a close family member suffered a severe stroke at the young age of 27. BINA was created in 2003 to ensure that brain injury survivors and their families are not alone as they struggle to navigate the overwhelming journey along the road to rehabilitation.

Since our founding, we have assisted over 5,000 individuals with neurological, spinal, and medically complex diagnoses and thousands more of their close family members. We are the only organization based in the Jewish community providing a unique and comprehensive system of services to stroke, brain injury, and spinal injury survivors and their families.
