HIRO. We are a promise of hope after ABI.

“Hero” is defined as a person who is admired for courage, who has outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Our heroes are our clients, their families, staff and the community surrounding people with acquired brain injuries (ABI).

HIRO’s programs align with ABI evidence-based practices, led by a regulated health care professional, to promote independent living skills and improved quality of life following a brain injury.
