Traumatic Brain Injury Support Group

Hoglund Brain Imaging Center (HBIC) and Trauma Services jointly sponsor a Traumatic Brain Injury support group that meets the second Tuesday of each month at HBIC. This community service project allows any traumatic brain injury patient from the community to attend and helps to provide continuity of care for KU patients after they leave the hospital. Support, information, and education are provided for patients and their significant others. Meetings are led by Jo Ann Lierman, RNC, PhD, HBIC Nurse Clinician and Dolly Wood, COTA/L from the KUMC Occupational Therapy department.
