WBRC Center

The Western Blind Rehabilitation Center (WBRC) is a 32-bed residential facility located at the Palo Alto Division of the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. More than two hundred veterans, men and women of all ages, participate in the program each year. All are legally blind, but more than three quarters have useable vision for which specialized treatment is provided. Adjusting to and managing sight loss is the major objective of the program.
