Do you treat patients who have suffered brain injuries, including those in rehabilitation?
Do you work in an acute hospital trauma unit, or a long-term care facility that serves people who have survived brain injuries?
Or do you teach at a university or medical school and research brain injuries?
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, you might want to apply to become a member of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission’s (HHSC’s) Texas Brain Injury Advisory Council.
The council advises the HHSC executive commissioner and Office of Acquired Brain Injury on how to implement sustainable service and support that meet the needs of people who have survived a brain injury.
Most incoming members’ terms will expire Dec. 31, 2021.
Council meetings will be held about once every three to four months in Austin or at the call of the presiding officer. Council members will not be paid to attend or to travel to and from council meetings.
If you’re interested, review the application letter to determine whether you’re eligible to serve on the council. After that, complete an application and return it via email, fax, or mail to:
