In the United States each year, between 2 to 5 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury with almost 300,000 being injured severely enough to be hospitalized. Approximately 18,000 new spinal cord injuries occur in the United States each year. Many of these injuries occur to people in the prime of life, between the ages of 18 to 40. In these cases, it is important to receive care in a setting that has the expertise to understand the nuances of these injuries.
