The Central Blind Rehabilitation Center 2011 - 2012
The Central Blind Rehabilitation Center (CBRC) is a 34-bed residential facility at Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital. We receive applicants from over 50 VA hospitals in 14 Midwest states. The CBRC is one of thirteen VA Blind Centers located across the US and in Puerto Rico.
Hines VA Hospital is located just west of Chicago. Our 147-acre campus provides a safe, supportive environment. Here Veterans can develop the skills and attitudes needed for dealing with vision loss. Staff include medical staff, teachers (blind rehabilitation specialists), support staff and management.
Our Goal
The goal of the CBRC is to help each veteran become as independent as possible in all aspects of daily life, and to assist them in their adjustment to blindness.
Who We Serve
Any eligible veteran or active duty service member who is legally blind or has a severe functional vision loss may receive training at the CBRC.
