Pioneering legislation, aftercare, prevention, and ongoing research to aid the underserved head injured population. The new foundation immediately backed unheard of laws for mandatory seat belts, air bags, child restraint seats, bicycle and motorcycle helmets. New gun safety laws were instituted. Resource information was gathered into one central clearinghouse. Available today. Such a successful start to a treasured opportunity where none had ever existed.
