Lessening the Blast in the Past – TBI Support Down Range
For Naval Hospital Bremerton MRI technologists Ms. Johanna Fanara and Mr. Matthew Hodgson, whether it’s providing timely – and crucial – support to deployed forces in a war zone or providing specialty care for patients at home, the treatment of traumatic brain injuries and concussed patients is a priority. Compiled statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show more than 430,000 service members were diagnosed with TBI from 2000 to 2020, yet the majority were sustained in a non-combat related setting due to training or participating in sporting and leisure activities (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
