Rochester’s Hickok Center for Brain Injury Wins Xerox Office Makeover

Every month, the Hickok Center for Brain Injury Inc. helps nearly 100 people in Rochester develop the skills needed to live and work again following an accident, stroke or disease. Now, it’s the center’s turn to receive some help. Judges have selected the organization as Rochester’s most outdated nonprofit office and winner of Xerox Corporation’s (NYSE: XRX) “Helping Hands” Office Makeover Contest. The prize: a document technology and design refresh worth approximately $15,000.

Putting its own technology and design needs on the back burner to focus on its program members, the Hickok Center for Brain Injury provides a resource center for adult survivors of brain injury. Through a peer support system aimed at developing social and cognitive skills, members encourage one another to take part in the daily operation of the center alongside the staff. In addition, one-on-one training focusing on living skills helps members become more independent in their daily lives.

As winner of Xerox’s “Helping Hands” Office Makeover Contest, the center will receive an office technology assessment; Xerox Phaserâ„¢ color printers; software; and a Xerox WorkCentreâ„¢ digital multifunction system, which prints, copies, scans and faxes. The nonprofit also receives design services from Brice Cooper, host and designer of HGTV’s popular show Design on a Dime, and office furniture from The HON Company.
