AURORA, Colo. — One of the buildings at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora has a sign out front that says The Marcus Institute For Brain Health. It's easy to miss but what they do in that building is not. They change lives.
We're talking about the lives of military veterans and first responders with traumatic brain injuries. Since 2011, more than 3 million men and women have been deployed to combat zones from the United States, and shockingly one in three suffers from a brain injury, or TBI.
