About the Brain Injury Program

Background

Senate Bill 420 (2023) established the Oregon Brain Injury Program. The program will help people with brain injuries find and use services that are available to them. The Senate Bill also created the Brain Injury Advisory Committee. This committee will advise the Brain Injury Program about how to best meet the needs of people in Oregon with brain injuries.
