AHIF partners with Samford University to provide Bright Ideas TBI Camp!
From June 12-14, AHIF and Samford University took part in an innovative new camp initiative. AHIF invited TBI survivors who were 3+ years removed from their injury, and their caregivers, to take part in a three day camp where students from physical therapy, speech therapy, social work, and nutrition/dietetics as well as contracted occupational therapists worked with both the survivors and their caregivers to "jump-start" an additional improvement in their ability to live with the lasting impact of their injury. The camp was made possible through the generosity of the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham and the Robert Meyer Foundation.

Encompass Health allows AHIF to return to week-long TBI Camp
|
For 15+ years, AHIF provided a week-long TBI camp at beautiful Camp ASCCA in Jackson's Gap, AL. Due to financial constraints, AHIF had to switch to a shorter weekend camp 7 years ago. This year, due to a generous gift from Encompass Health, formerly HealthSouth, AHIF will once again be able to offer its week-long camp experience, scheduled for August 12-17, 2018!
AHIF thanks Marsh Rickard Law Firm and Fox 6 News for helping us spread awareness. Click the logos below to view their videos.
