Tallahassee, FL: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) | Head Injury | Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Conference


Posted on Feb 18, 2009

Speakers at the event shared their experiences and stories and spoke about what services and resources are needed to help. They also addressed why raising awareness of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is important and their hopes for the future of TBI in Florida.

“The general public does not recognize or understand the magnitude of the issue, including the incidence, causes and impact of traumatic brain injury,” he said. “More needs to be done to educate our communities about traumatic brain injuries, how these injuries can be prevented, what actions to take when a head injury occurs and what programs and services are available to help” said, Thom DeLilla, the Bureau Chief of the Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Program within the Division of Emergency Medical Operations of the Florida Department of Health.

More than 8,200 Floridians sustain long-term disabilities as a result of their TBI each year. These estimates do not include the impact of TBI on Florida’s returning service men and women, for whom brain injury has been labeled the “signature wound.”

“We’re only beginning to understand the impact of blast-related TBIs sustained during military service,” said Jim Edwards, lieutenant colonel of the U.S. Army Reserve and Nurse Manager of Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital’s Brain Injury and Pediatric Units. “As Florida has a very large number of veterans, only time will tell if we are prepared to deal with their issues.”
