We are on a mission to make the proper care of the injured brain common, rather than the exception.
Most people with a concussion or other traumatic brain injury (TBI) are sent home with a handout and told to “take it easy.” It’s only after they leave the emergency room or clinic that symptoms really show up—headaches, dizziness, memory problems, sleep issues, anxiety. Millions endure months of not getting back to themselves, back to work, or back to normal life. Fewer than 3% ever receive follow-up care.
A group of the nation’s leading brain doctors is working to change that. Together with the Brain Care Catalyst Foundation, they are designing and testing model outpatient “post-acute care” clinics that show what is possible when patients get structured follow-up, careful symptom tracking, and coordinated treatment after a brain injury.
Two clinics are already operating today in San Francisco (UCSF) and Morgantown, WV (Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute). Beginning in 2026, the Foundation will help launch additional clinics in Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, New Haven, Nashville, Indianapolis, and Chicago. Together, these sites will form the Post-Acute Care Clinic Collaborative—a learning network that shares data, listens to patients, and spreads what works.
The Brain Care Catalyst Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to make the proper care of the injured brain common, rather than the exception. We are working with people who have had brain injuries, doctors, nurses, and many others to improve follow up, symptom management, and recovery for all who suffer concussions and other traumatic brain injuries.
We are committed to making proper care for brain injuries the norm, not the exception.
Your donation helps improve follow-up, symptom management, and recovery for those suffering from concussions and other traumatic brain injuries.
