Helping individuals with brain injuries

“While people receive good care in the hospital following a brain injury—such as a car accident, fall, tumor, or stroke— once they return home they often find they are lost and don’t know how to begin the long journey to recovery. That’s where Brain Injury Services of SWVA steps in…” says Alexander Barge, MS, the director of development and marketing for the organization.

“Brain Injury Services of Southwest Virginia is the only provider of free case management services in Southwest Virginia, along with parts of Central and Southside Virginia, for survivors of brain injury,” Alex continues. “[It provides] support in reaching recovery goals, such as becoming more independent, reintegrating into school or work, socializing, and recreating.”
