About Us

BIR is a 92-bed not-for-profit hospital dedicated to restoring an individual’s independence, self-confidence and vision of the future after a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke or other orthopaedic or neurological disorder.

Why Choose BIR

After a catastrophic injury or illness, you need far more than just physical rehabilitation. Psychological and social adjustments are just as critical. Choosing the right rehabilitation facility can make a world of difference.

Real Patients. Real Stories.

See how Baylor has made a difference in the lives of our patients.

Traumatic Brain Injury 

There is life after brain injury. And at Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation, our goal is to help you discover it. 

Going back to your old life isn’t a reality. We understand, and we’ll help you and your family wrestle with this in a safe, warm environment. At BIR you will also find a team of specialists dedicated to crafting a treatment plan as individual as you.

We are an important rehabilitation component of the North Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Model System. BIR is one of only 16 facilities nationwide to be designated as a model system of care for patients with traumatic brain injuries by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. Designed to increase knowledge about the effects of traumatic brain injuries and to improve outcomes and the quality of life for patients and their families, the North Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Model System is a cooperative effort between the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Baylor University Medical Center and BIR to provide advanced research. Patients and their families are given the opportunity to enroll in specific research projects that may improve treatment and outcomes for future TBI survivors.

Our goal is to help you rebuild life skills and maximize your independence. We will help your family get the training and support they need. And together, we will face new opportunities. It’s not about what you’ve been through. It’s where you go from here.
