MADIGAN ARMY MEDICAL CENTER, Tacoma, Wash. - More than 400 Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldiers and family members are registered to attend a Traumatic Brain Injury Symposium sponsored by the Madigan Healthcare System November 4 at the McChord Field Club.
The event features an array of guest speakers, as well as interactive educational activities and displays presented by Madigan staff and local community professionals. The daylong symposium is designed to complement the reintegration process of our returning warriors.
Scheduled speakers include Dr. Frederick Flynn, medical director of Madigan's TBI program; Dr. Bridget C. Cantrell, author of "Down Range: To Iraq and Back"; and Drs. Dennis Kelly and Lars Hungerford, Madigan neuropsychologists with expertise in TBI and memory and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Symposium participants will also be able to share their personal experiences in a visual-art "Tell Your Story" activity, ask questions during an open microphone panel discussion and meet Herschel Walker, who will share his story of combating a behavioral health stigma.
