Programs and results
What we aim to solve
28,000 Virginians are diagnosed each year with Traumatic Brain Injury. In 2019, an estimated 285,000 people disabled as a result of brain injury and stroke live in Virginia; including estimates of those who have sustained a brain injury or stroke but who are not disabled increases the prevalence to more than 1,000,000. The BIAV employs 8 staff; that equals one of us for 3,500 newly injured people each year and 35,468 who are disabled.
