  • Brain Injury Insider Episode 103: Today is Brain Injury Awareness Day on Capitol Hill

    This year, Brain Injury Awareness Day takes on special significance for the millions of Americans who sustain an acquired or traumatic brain injury each year.   

    Today, we will advocate for the reauthorization of The Traumatic Brain Injury Act which provides needed funding for research and support to improve outcomes for persons with brain injury.   

    Brain Injury can affect anyone, anytime, and any place.  It does not discriminate based on race, income, sex, or age.  This landmark legislation first enacted in 1976 addresses TBI prevention, research, and service delivery through state grants.  

    Did you know that brain injury is a significant public health issue, and brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability for those over 65 and our nation’s youth?

    Did you know over 3.4 million Americans will sustain a brain injury each year?

    Today, Shana and I will join the Brain Injury Association of America and other brain injury advocacy groups for a rally on Capitol Hill supporting this important legislation.

    We are committed to improving the lives of all who suffer the physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral consequences of any type or kind of brain injury by providing care, rehabilitation, and benefits.  

    We are committed to obtaining appropriate funding, education, awareness, and advocacy on behalf of all people with brain injury.

    So, we look forward to seeing many of you today and for those who can’t make it today, we look forward to seeing you in the future in support of this important legislation.
