Welcome to the NASHIA Innovation Center!
Research shows that individuals with brain injury who receive specialized, brain injury-informed support services experience significantly better outcomes, especially in states with coordinated systems of care. Despite growing interest among states and communities in reforming service delivery, many initiatives lack coordination, sustainability, and grounding in research.
NASHIA wants to fill that gap. Our Innovation Center will build on NASHIA’s existing successful programs to serve as a national hub for best practices, aligning research-based solutions with the real-world needs of communities
