Pate Rehabilitation Celebrates Grand Opening of Fort Worth Facility

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pate Rehabilitation, delivering evidence-based treatment and support programs for individuals recovering from acquired brain injuries (ABIs), today announced the grand opening of Savanna Oaks Ranch, its latest residential facility located in Fort Worth, Texas.

It will feature informative speeches, a health fair and giveaways for visitors from the local community.

“It’s critical that programs and services supporting their recovery are easily reachable. With facilities in Dallas, Anna and now Fort Worth, we can provide comprehensive therapy services to patients throughout the local area.”
