Dr. Heather J Fullerton is the Kenneth Rainin Chair in Pediatric Stroke Care, Chief of Child Neurology at UCSF Department of Neurology, and medical director of Pediatric Brain Center at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital. Dr. Fullerton recognized that our pediatric stroke and traumatic brain injury patients have a difficult time transitioning back to school, thus the Brain Recovery Education Initiative was born.
