WINCHESTER Patients with brain injuries whether from an accident or a stroke may require the expertise of several health-care professionals.
They may need a neurologist, a psychologist, a chiropractor or a physical therapist. They also may need a case manager who can help them find physicians and treatment programs, and help them fill out the insurance paperwork.
To help patients and their caretakers, The Winchester Brain Injury Group has invited several health-care professionals to join a panel discussion called Brain Injury Recovery Takes a Team.
The panel will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the auditorium at Handley Library, 100 W. Piccadilly St., Winchester. The event is free, and anyone interested in the care and treatment of brain injuries is invited.
Even years [after a brain injury], youre still figuring pieces of the puzzle, said Kathleen Mancini, one of the leaders of the Winchester Brain Injury Group. This is a way to figure out the puzzle.
Members of the panel are: Dr. Mariecken Fowler, neurologist; John Lewis, neuropsychologist; Rebecca Morrison, psychologist; Dr. Scott Cabazolo, chiropractor; Dr. Tod Davis and Dr. Lori Griffith, vision therapists; Amanda Holsinger-Jenkins, case manager; Pamela Plasberg, physical therapist; Angie Cottrill, occupational therapist; and Kathleen Mancini, with the support group.
Mancini she said she has asked each panelist to prepare answers to two questions: What do you offer a person with a brain injury? and What would be the signs and symptoms that would indicate a person needed to see you?
Ive been wanting to do this for years, said Mancini, I think theres a need for this.
The Winchester Brain Injury Group meets from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month. For the location, call Kathleen Mancini at 540-650-1969 or Betty Friant at 540-550-1784 or email TBI@mindspring.com
