After a concussion or brain injury, families often hear different advice from different places. You may wonder who truly specializes in pediatric brain recovery. You want one clear plan built just for your child.

At the Brain Health and Wellness Center at Cincinnati Children’s, we specialize in brain health. We care for children and teens with concussion and mild to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

With thousands of visits each year, we are one of the most comprehensive pediatric brain injury programs in the region. We are built to care for both student athletes and children with complex, life-changing injuries.
