Acquired and traumatic brain injury have overlapping symptoms yet are very distinct from each other. Acquired brain injury is an internal disorder caused by neuro-organic malfunctions. Traumatic brain injuries are externally caused, as in care accidents, sports injuries and physical assaults. Brain Injury Society was incorporated on December 18th, 1997 as Not-For-Profit Organization and was approved by the IRS as a a 501(c)(3) corporation. When fully operational Brain Injury Society will provide the following services for all acquired and traumatic brain injured recovering and recovered individuals. Brain Injury Society, in close association with the participating hospitals, will be assisting with counseling and guidance throughout the recovery process. Brain Injury Society will assist the families in understanding their physician's diagnosis and recommended treatment for all brain injured patients. Alternative courses and latest advances will be brought into what is often a split second decision making process. Often there is no time for familiesto research a second opinion. The parents of mild to the severely brain-injured child (whatever the age) must know about viable surgical options and/or alternatives. Brain Injury Society satisfies a void which has been recognized for years. There are no alternatives. The idea has been embraced by the medical community and has been given its overwhelming support. Brain Injury Society services include information on all phases of patient after care. Brain Injury Society needs a computer system to be built as a prototype to first serve the New York City, then to expand when the systems design goes online throughout the United States of America and globally. Even now, every week, phone calls and E-mail from recovering brain injured individuals and their families around the world log on to get help with their helplessness and frustration in their quest for data. As Brain Injury Society expands, we will have an advisory board of business leaders to provide immediate strategies for obtaining needed funding on a regular basis. Click here for more infromation.
