Speeding Up Impact
In 2010, Branch Out was founded on the premise of pushing the boundaries and committed to funding research that impact individuals living with neurological disorders.
Last year, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park, Branch Out helped fund a brand new transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) machine for the Alberta Children's Hospital Centre for Child & Adolescent Mental Health.
