From President & CEO Toni Pergolin
Potential. Fulfillment. Joy. All words that can be summed up with a simple thought: HOPE. Hope that a child will reach their full potential no matter how difficult the challenge; hope that a family will enjoy a holiday together again; and hope for expert support throughout a lifetime.
There are an abundance of reasons why hope resonates throughout Bancroft.
Through inspired outcomes brought about by our dedicated staff, we have proven that we can indeed unlock the potential of each child and help each adult live life to the fullest. At Bancroft NeuroRehab, our expert clinical team helps people recover from brain injuries and reconnect with family, job and community. Each day, I am inspired by their journeys and those of their families who share with me their struggles and triumphs.
Every person has their own distinct vision for a fulfilling life. Leading an organization that dedicates itself to helping them achieve those visions is my humble honor.
I invite you to connect with us and be a part of our world. Explore our website, connect with our staff and engage with us on social media. We are here to help you and your loved one reach each next milestone in life.
