Vision

To improve the lives of patients who have suffered from acute brain injury through novel treatment models and new therapeutics.

Mission

To transform the care for brain-injured patients through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates leading-edge research, clinical expertise, and education. We strive to:

  • Deliver world-class emergency neurologic care with rapid access to lifesaving treatments.
  • Enhance patient access to specialized neurointensivists to improve outcomes and 
    recovery for those facing acute neurologic conditions. 
  • Advance the field of neurocritical care and neurologic emergencies through innovative 
    research and collaborative academic efforts. 
  • Raise awareness and educate the community on brain injury prevention, fostering collaboration, promoting safety measures, and supporting the resilience of affected individuals and their families. 
  • Train the next generation of neurocritical care professionals, including physicians, advanced practice providers, and nurses, to ensure continued excellence and progress in the field. 

Strategic Innovations & Long-term Goals

  • Integrate smart home and assistive technologies to monitor patients in their living environments post-discharge, enhancing safety and early detection of complications.
  • Establish a telehealth-driven cognitive and mobility rehabilitation program utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning for personalized care recommendations. 
  • Partner with technology developers to create wearable devices tailored explicitly for ABI patient needs, focusing on tracking physiological and mobility data.
  • Engage in global collaborations with neurocritical care leaders to position the institute as a hub for international ABI research and treatment innovation.
  • Develop neurotherapeutic medications for FDA approval.
  • Create an endowment to ensure sustainable funding for research, education, and patient care initiatives.
