On a rainy day in September, 17 year-old Chandlar Steen lost control of her car and sustained a traumatic brain injury. In the days that followed, she underwent multiple surgeries to reduce swelling and drain fluid from her brain. When she arrived at Nexus Children’s Hospital – Houston, Chandlar felt confused and depressed. She was still regaining consciousness, ingesting her food and medication through a nasogastric tube, and experiencing nausea, migraines, and disorientation.

Men at Greater Risk of Hospitalization for Traumatic Brain Injury The CDC says that men are twice as likely to spend time in the hospital after a TBI, with about 80% of men ending up in the hospital, as opposed to only 43% of women. Researchers attribute this to the greater likelihood of men to take risk. Call Advantage Healthcare at 1-877-487-8289. . . #TBI #TraumaticInjury #TraumaticBrainInjury #HeadInjury #BrainInjury #Injury

📣Glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness, has earned the ominous moniker "Silent Thief of Vision” – with a significant disconnect between the healthcare that is currently being provided and how patients are experiencing it. The moment of diagnosis often leaves patients bewildered and anxious 😵💫, while doctors struggle to extend care beyond clinic walls. With medication adherence rates as low as 16%, patients are vulnerable to vision loss, mental health challenges, and compromised daily activities. 💥💥 Eyecbetter is tackling this pressing issue head-on, redefining ophthalmologic health and preventing treatable blindness. 💥💥 Our mission is clear: transform the glaucoma treatment journey, where patients face a lifelong commitment to medication adherence and regular check-ups to preserve and prolong their sight. We believe that our solutions will not only address this gap but also help all individuals, especially those with glaucoma, navigate their treatment journeys with confidence and improved quality of life.
