White Paper
Blueprint for Post-Acute TBI Clinics
A detailed look at the clinic model, staffing, measurement, and policy levers for adoption.
DownloadWhat We Do
Advancing better care for everyone with concussion and traumatic brain injury
We partner with leading hospitals, policy makers, and funders to prove out a scalable model for post-acute TBI clinics that is rooted in patient experience and data-backed practice.
Pillar 01
Launching model post-acute TBI clinics
We seed multidisciplinary teams inside academic medical centers and community settings with shared tools and evaluated protocols.
Pillar 02
Elevating the voice of patients
Focus groups, storytelling cohorts, and advisory councils center lived experience and ensure clinical care feels human.
Pillar 03
Producing research, education, and tools
We capture outcomes, publish guidance, and open-source care pathways that others can adopt.
Where We're Working
Building the national footprint of post-acute brain care
We collaborate with hospitals and community partners to stand up post-acute TBI clinics that meet people closer to home. Each site shares playbooks, data, and a commitment to co-design with patients.

Why This Model Works
A care model that delivers consistent, human outcomes
Multidisciplinary team
Neurology, psychiatry, rehab, and social care unite around a shared patient registry and handoff rituals.
Excellent symptom assessment
Standardized, trauma-informed intake ensures no cognitive or behavioral symptom is missed.
Expert guidelines for clinical practice
Evidence-based protocols, refreshed quarterly with advisory council review, guide every visit.
Continuous improvement
Patients co-design improvements, and clinics run rapid-learning cycles to measure gains.
Patient-Centered
Focus groups & insights from experience
Every clinic launch begins with listening sessions that surface barriers to care, from intake forms to follow-up navigation. Those insights inform all service design decisions.
