Our Mission
To provide survivors of brain injuries help and support through a unique
approach of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in order to improve their
quality of life and create a better future.
Vision
To reach out to those survivors of brain injuries who cannot afford HBOT
since it is not covered by our Medical System. HBOT allows the development
of new blood vessels to the rim of tissue surrounding the area of the
brain that has been damaged.
These newly formed blood vessels resulting from the hyperbaric oxygen
therapy can then bring fresh blood (oxygen) and nutrients to the damaged
tissue. The tissue begins to repair itself and returns to normal or near-normal.
These “resuscitated” neurons gradually reconnect to the rest of the brain.
These revived neurons and their connections help to return the use of
lost cerebral and bodily functions.
Hyperbaric therapy does not resurrect dead brain tissue, but it can facilitate
the functioning of those dormant, idling nerve cells that have suffered
secondary damaged by stroke due to the diminished oxygen. Oftentimes,
the brain area suffering secondary damage is a larger part of the brain
which suffered the primary damage. This area of secondary damage to the
brain (the ischemic penumbra) is the area that HBOT helps.
Goals
-
To make brain injury survivors, as well as the family members, aware
of the benefits of HBOT
-
To organize fund raising activities to raise money to support the
cost of HBOT
-
With such therapy, improve the quality of life of survivors of brain
injuries and their family members
