Education & Resources
At Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare, we understand that diagnosis of a traumatic injury or illness can be overwhelming and confusing for patients and families.
To help our patients navigate their recoveries, we have compiled the following educational resources and other useful material:
Education

Levels of Cognitive Functioning and Glasgow Coma Scales
Consequences of Brain Injury and Glossary of Associated Terms
