We do what needs to be done
The Brain Bus is driving change in how we support Alaskans with brain injury.
Like any bus, the Brain Bus can deliver people and supplies. But we do more. We bring compassion, resources, information and a place where people with brain injury are heard, understood and supported.
We do this by engaging communities and their members, sharing local wisdom and outside expertise, empowering individuals, families and communities, building self-agency for those with brain injury and bringing innovation to everyone. The bus in the spark which starts building community around brain injury.

Innovating Care
