Injury Prevention

In February of 2008, the National Road Safety Foundation filmed a documentary with the assistance of the Western Michigan Brain Injury Network (WMBIN). WMBIN, which includes Hope Network Rehabilitation Services, Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, and Spectrum Health Continuing Care, provided the locations, staff, and consumers for filming.

The movie, entitled ‘The Other Breakfast Club’ follows the recovery of six consumers who sustained brain injuries as a result of a vehicle crash.  The documentary Premiere was on March 11, at Celebration Cinema! North in Grand Rapids.  The National Road Safety Foundation reported they have already received more requests for copies of this film than any other movie they offer. 

You can request a copy of the movie through their website at:

This movie has been recognized locally by WGVSU, Celebration Cinemas, Be Healthy Magazine, and the Grand Rapids Press. Congratulations to all who participated.  This is just one example of the great work being done at Hope Network Rehabilitation Services.
