June News and Notes

As we slide into summer there is so much happening at BIAOH. Make sure to mark your calendars with all of the exciting programs and events coming up!  

We are so grateful to everyone that has helped us advocate for increased funding for brain injury services in Ohio. We had great success with the House of Representatives, where they passed an increase in funding for 1.1 million. When the Senate released their budget, they removed that increase. We are hopeful that through the conference committee process, where the Senate and House will go line by line and decide what to keep, they will restore our funding. We continue to reach out to legislators and educate them on the impact of brain injury on Ohio and why this funding is important. You can too - and there is more information below. 

We have scheduled our second annual Cerebration, Walk, Roll, Run to help raise funds for programs and services for survivors and their families. The event will take place on September 10, 2023 both in person (at Westerville Sports Complex) and virtually from anywhere! You can find more information and the registration link below. 

We have also scheduled our 2023 Ohio Brain Injury Summit, which will be held October 5-6, 2023, The event will be hybrid at the OhioHealth Davd P. Blom Business Administration Campus and virtually via Zoom. Much more information can be found at the link provided below. 

We invite you to join us and engage with one of our upcomming programs and events in 2023, to learn more about how we can work together to help brain injury survivors live well after brain injury.

We wish everyone a safe and happy summer!
