July 21, 2008, Wheaton, IL — Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital is pleased to announce that Keith M. D’Souza, M.D., has been named Associate Medical Director of the Marianjoy Brain Injury Program.
Dr. D’Souza joined the Marianjoy Medical Group in 2008 as a staff physiatrist after completing his residency at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. His clinical practice focuses on brain injury, acute rehabilitation, outpatient clinics and consulting in community hospitals.

“I chose Marianjoy because of their reputation for hard working clinicians and support staff who are fully invested in outstanding patient care,” said Dr. D’Souza. “My interest in physical medicine and rehabilitation goes back to an interaction I had years ago with a 19-year-old who had been in a motor vehicle accident.

Now I am honored to help lead the brain injury team at Marianjoy and treat individuals who need acute rehabilitation following a traumatic brain injury.”
