Since 1957, following the polio epidemic that caused such devastation in New Brunswick, Stan Cassidy successfully raised funds to build a facility focused solely on rehabilitation for New Brunswickers with complex needs. Because of his dream, today almost 49 years later, the Centre’s multi-disciplinary 85 strong team of highly skilled experts are providing rehabilitation care to thousands of New Brunswickers with complex physiological and neurological impairments.
