History & Mission

Our desire to focus on brain rehabilitation is deeply rooted in a father’s love for his child. Philanthropist Robert L. Moody, Sr. founded what is today Moody Neurorehabilitation Institute after his son Russell was seriously injured in an auto accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. Recognizing a dire need for brain injury rehabilitation resources, Mr. Moody immersed himself in understanding neurorehabilitation techniques, strategies and therapies developed by some of the top neurological hospitals and rehabilitation centers in the world. Shortly thereafter, the Galveston facility was created to bring the highest quality of care to Russell and others. With the addition of a post-acute center located in Houston and Lubbock, as well as a long-term care facility in Galveston, Moody Neuro now serves patients from across Texas and around the country. Over forty years after its founding, Moody Neuro has gained a reputation as a “pioneer” in the field of brain injury neurorehabilitation, embracing a rich history of research, therapeutic innovation, and life-changing breakthroughs in brain injury rehabilitation.
