The Brain Injury unit offers services that are not widely available, including coma recovery which includes medical care and stimulation that encourages people to regain consciousness. Sunnyview is one of a few programs in the region that can care for minimally conscious patients. We use a gentle approach that includes engaging patients in self-care activities like guiding their hand so they can help with daily skin cleaning as well as appropriate levels of stimulation, including light and sound, tailored to their needs.
Witness patients regain movement and even start walking again with our assistive technologies and devices like the ReWalk™ , Ekso™ Exoskeleton, and the Litegait® system..

Market context
In New York, nursing roles like LPN positions are commonly driven by ongoing staffing needs in hospitals, long-term care, and behavioral health settings. Competition can be stronger for roles that prefer mental health, alcoholism, or chemical addiction experience, so a valid New York State LPN license and accredited nursing education matter.
