Traumatic Brain Injury support groups for servicemembers and their families are now available on Mondays at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center.
A session for family members of patients with TBI is held from 9:30 to 11 a.m., and a session for servicemembers is conducted from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Both support groups meet at the Neurology Clinic in Ward 6C.
The groups will be offering education on TBI and current treatment options. The groups will also provide an opportunity for social support and to communicate different strategies for dealing with ongoing symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury.
For more information, call Jeanne Jahosky at 486-8235 or 06371-86-8235 or Sgt. William Pfannenstiel at 590-5601 or 06371-9464-5601.
LRMC, which falls under the command of Europe Regional Medical Command, is the largest American hospital outside of the U.S. and is verified by the American College of Surgeons as a Level II Trauma Center, making it the only U.S. medical facility overseas to hold that distinction, and only one of three in the Department of Defense.
LRMC provides primary care, tertiary care, hospitalization and treatment for more than 245,000 U.S. military personnel and their families within the European Command.
LRMC is also the evacuation and treatment center for all injured U.S. servicemembers, contractors and members of 44 coalition forces serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, treating approximately 60,000 since January 2004.
