Illinois Brain Injury Association

Philicia L. Deckard, Executive Director of the Brain Injury Association of Illinois, asked me to forward this note onto you blog recipients.

Please visit our website, www.biail.org for information regarding today's press conference with Governor Blagojevich, Director Tammy Duckworth of Illinois Veterans' Affairs, and Director Barry Maram of Illinois Healthcare and Family Services. They announced the new program, Illinois Warriors Assistance Program, which is the first of its kind in the nation. The Brain Injury Association of Illinois has been active in the development and implementation of this program, and were invited guests for today's press conference. Twenty -seven states have already inquired about this program and how it might be developed in their states.
