Ohio Brain Injury Program and Brain Injury Advisory Committee Release 2026 Biennial Report

The Ohio Brain Injury Program, in conjunction with the Ohio Brain Injury Advisory Committee, has released the 2026 Biennial Report, providing a comprehensive look at the economic, social, and personal impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on Ohioans.

Traumatic brain injury affects individuals, families, communities, and systems across the state. This report brings together data, lived experience, and policy insight to highlight the true scope of TBI in Ohio and to inform planning, funding, and decision-making at the state and local levels.

Why This Report Matters

The Biennial Report serves as a critical tool for:

• Policymakers working to strengthen systems of care and support

• Agencies and providers planning services and programs

• Advocates and community members seeking data to support education and awareness efforts

• Survivors and caregivers looking to better understand the broader landscape of brain injury in Ohio

By documenting both data and lived experience, the report reinforces the importance of continued investment in brain injury prevention, services, and supports across the lifespan.

The 2026 Ohio Brain Injury Biennial Report is now available to the public.

We encourage stakeholders, partners, advocates, and community members to review the report and help ensure that the needs of Ohioans impacted by brain injury remain visible and prioritized.
