Traumatic Brain Injury
Overview:
The Mission of the TBI Clinic is to maximize function and
quality of life for all patients.
Scope of Services:
The
Vicenza TBI clinic is a subset of the Physical Therapy (PT) and Occupational
Therapy (OT) clinics. Here, we evaluate and provide care for active-duty
service members with mild to moderate TBI.
TBI
Course of Care:
- Initial evaluation of non-emergent head trauma
is performed by the service member’s assigned primary care medical
provider. If the primary care provider feels specialty care is needed, a
referral will be made to the TBI Clinic for further assessment and
treatment.
- Service members with TBIs that do not respond
within a reasonable timeframe may be referred to the TBI Clinic at
Landstuhl Army Regional Medical Center for additional evaluation
and treatment.
Eligible Beneficiaries:
Currently,
we see Active Duty Service Members. Starting in JAN 2024 we will also be
offering our services to Dependents 14 years and older.

Don't
Be A No-Show!
Help us reduce the number of "No
Shows." Patients who miss appointments are considered "No
Shows." "No Shows" limit the number of available
appointments. We ask that patients cancel at least 24 hours prior to your
appointment. To cancel an appointment, please call the central booking line at DSN: 314-636-9000
or +39-0444-61-9000 or go to MHS Genesis Patient Portal and access the Appointment
Center.
Our team includes professionals to support the Service Member in the acute and/or chronic phases of recovery from a TBI. Those services include case management, education, physical therapy, occupational therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation, sleep education, biofeedback, and referrals to other services as needed.
