Despite many advances, medicine still has very few tools to avoid or limit permanent damage following head injury. Your donations contribute to the discovery of new treatments that will further improve survival rates as well as quality of life for survivors. Whether through a new drug, faster and more efficient care by paramedics or better detection of injuries in the emergency room or the intensive care unit, research will improve the quality and effectiveness of care.
