March is Brain Injury Awareness Month

To bring attention to people who have suffered a traumatic brain injury, the Brain Injury Association of America has designated March as Brain Injury Awareness Month. This awareness program aims to shed light on the challenges that patients, family members, and other caregivers face when someone experiences a traumatic brain injury, often referred to as TBI. The program also highlights current efforts of the medical community in terms of research and rehabilitation endeavors that work to improve patient outcomes.

To provide support for TBI patients along with their loved ones, and as part of our contribution to Brain Injury Awareness Month, our experts at Rehabilitation Hospital of Northern Arizona want to educate the community on what it means to experience a TBI. We also want to provide a better understanding of the tools and therapies available today that play such an important role in a patient’s rehabilitation process.
