Summary Information

“Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has become the signature wound of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts and returning combat veterans need a comprehensive variety of rehabilitation programs and support of all available resources in the community to help them successfully reintegrate into society.”
Cynthia Adkins, Executive Director of TIRR Foundation

Project Victory works with military personnel, and veterans of recent military service, who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom and who have screened positively for post concussive symptoms or have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury while in combat or stateside. Project Victory rehabilitation services are provided at the TIRR Memorial Hermann Outpatient Rehabilitation facility. Services within Project Victory are provided at no cost to the client and without regard to age, ethnicity or gender.

Project Victory is part of one of only a few holistic, community re-integration programs in the country offering a holistic, community re-integration model utilizing interdisciplinary teams of professionals to manage the rehabilitative care of patients with brain injury. Patient care within Project Victory will begin with comprehensive evaluations identifying deficits to create an individual rehabilitation plan. Based on the rehabilitation plan, the following therapies will be provided: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognitive therapy, and family, educational and vocational counseling. Higher level interventions will be provided including balance/vestibular, visual disturbances, and state of the art treatment of complications.

TIRR Foundation, in collaboration with TIRR Memorial Hermann received a three-year grant for Project Victory from the Iraq-Afghanistan Impact Deployment Fund of the California Community Foundation. The Iraq-Afghanistan Impact Deployment Fund was established in 2006 to address the unmet needs of men, women and families affected by deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan.
