Don’t miss the 31st annual Brain Injury Association of Michigan conference!

With more than 1,300 attendees and over 125 exhibitors, the BIA Annual conference has become the largest brain injury conference in the nation. This is the 6th year of exhibiting at the BIA Conference for Compassionate Care Home Health Services, Inc. We exhibit and attend this conference every year because we believe it is important to:

• Show our support for the Brain Injury Association of Michigan
• Learn about the latest advances in brain injury care (including therapy)
• Spend time with case managers

This two day conference will provide information about brain injury treatments, therapies and other information that fosters rehabilitation and improves quality of life.  It is designed to benefit individuals engaged in therapies and recovering from injury, as well as caregivers.

The 1,300 in attendance are comprised of various providers, including:

• Medical services and equipment
• Centers for health policy, research and program development
• Universities, publishers and others involved in health education
• Government health and social service programs who serve individuals with disabilities
• Health information and technical assistance centers
• Attorneys
