(The Center Square) – Treating traumatic brain injury, or TBI, can be a long and costly road. Experts in the field say that leaving these injuries untreated or under-treated can be even costlier.
Members of the House Human Services Committee met providers and advocates to hear how the state is offering treatment and support for those with the condition and what more can be done to help.
Tara Trego, director of the Bureau of Family Health, told the committee that 86,000 Pennsylvanians suffer from brain injuries every year, with over 2,000 dying as a result of those injuries. CONTINUE
