So proud to be making an impact in bridging critical gaps in pediatric care and knowledge of traumatic brain injury.
Every year, 2.8 million Americans are impacted by a traumatic brain injury (TBI), including a disproportionate number of children. Despite the frequency of TBIs, there’s a significant gap in knowledge, resources, funding, and care. Toyota’s Way Forward Fund brings together and supports the people and organizations working towards the best care for children and families. During a span of two days and three sessions this summer, more than sixteen grantees and fifty attendees shared resources and best practices. Connecting experts, organizations, new treatments, digital tools, and other emerging technology, all with the goal of bridging critical gaps in pediatric care. No one person has all the answers, but working together we can make a difference. #Toyota4Good #LifeatToyota
