The brain injury community is deeply concerned about the proposed changes to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Brain injury doesn't have an end date, and neither should federal funding. Secretary Kennedy must meet with the Brain Injury Association of America to protect critical services and research. Take action and tell Secretary Kennedy to meet with the brain injury community now! https://lnkd.in/eV-P_xzX
