“”Brain injury rarely ends when a patient leaves the hospital, and the hardest parts often come during the months and years that follow, navigated by patients and families who can feel they’re doing it alone. As a practicing physiatrist and a BIA-NE board member, I’ve seen firsthand how the Brain Injury Association of Nebraska meets people in exactly that space, with the education, resources, and community that support the long-term rehabilitation and recovery following Brain Injury. I’m grateful for the work BIA-NE does every day, and equally grateful to the Nebraska Medical Foundation for stepping forward to support that mission. This partnership will extend BIA-NE’s reach to even more Nebraskans who desperately need it.
