From Battlefield to Brain Health: The MossRehab Institute's Veteran TBI & PTS Rehab Program

Welcome Home - A Podcast for Veterans, About Veterans, By Veterans

Discover the groundbreaking support offered by the MossRehab Institute for Brain Health (MRIBH) as we sit down with Carlo Aragoncillo, the Veteran Outreach Coordinator at the institute. He is passionate about aiding veterans and first responders with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress (PTS). Our conversation sheds light on MRIBH's comprehensive coverage for all treatment expenses, affirming its dedication to providing help without the added stress of financial burdens. Delve into the institute's vital role within a network that addresses not only TBI and PTS but also the substance abuse that often accompanies these conditions, a trio that significantly impacts veteran and first responder suicidality.
Our dialogue with Carlo takes you through MRIBH's specialized three-day evaluation. This process meticulously assesses the health of our nation's heroes, focusing mainly on those dealing with the invisible wounds of service. The pioneering "fishbowl" approach adopted by the institute ensures patients' stories are heard by an entire team of clinicians, fostering a truly collaborative and comprehensive care strategy. They cover everything from the seamless acquisition of medical records, with help from a VA liaison, to the creation of a long-term support network, reinforcing the institute's commitment to minimizing care barriers and providing a lifeline for veterans and first responders in need.
Lastly, the episode details MRIBH's intensive three-week brain 'boot camp,' a program that acknowledges the full spectrum of TBI and the importance of peer support and family education. Stressing the no-cost nature of the program it underscores the institute's veteran-centric approach, which extends well beyond traditional resources. If you're a veteran or first responder or know someone who might benefit from this supportive network, take the first step towards an improved quality of life with MRIBH.
