With sadness, I say goodbye to a pioneer in traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, Yehuda Ben-Yishay.

May he rest in peace. https://www.nytimes.com//health/yehuda-ben-yishay-dead.html

Thank you and congratulations to U.S. Reps. Bill Pascrell, Jr. of New Jersey and Don Bacon, Nebraska co-chairmen of the Congressional Traumatic Brain Injury Tas...k Force for the passage of their amendment to provide $5 million to support the National Concussion Surveillance System (NCSS). The NCSS is critical to accurately determining the incidence of concussions, particularly among the most vulnerable Americans. Rep. Pascrell’s Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Program Reauthorization Act of 2018 authorized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to create the NCSS and the CDC implemented the program in late 2018. This amendment appropriates needed funding for the system. Brain injuries, are a silent epidemic in the United States. The CDC currently estimates that 2.5 million traumatic brain injuries occur each year in the U.S. and 5.3 million Americans live with a life-long disability as a result of TBI. But these numbers do not tell the full story. These statistics fail to take into account unreported concussions, individuals who have never sort medical attention, and hospital records where brain injury or concussion is not the principal diagnosis. It is impossible to know the true incident of brain injury and concussion without a robust surveillance system.
