Veterans Outreach Program

In many TBI cases, the injured person seems fine on the surface, yet continues to endure chronic functional problems. It isn't easy to see or to 'put your finger on' whats wrong, but the injury is real, and it requires treatment.

You are not alone. Many other soliders and their families are having the same experiences you are. Please encourage them to take the first step with you.

If you have questions please call the Hospital for Special Care's Veteran Outreach Hotline 860.612.6310.
