The expansive facility and smallest of patients, allows for individuals to freely transport without a struggle. The small number of patients also supports the medical teams in maintaining a personal relationship with everyone. The facility also allows for visitors, conferences, and events to raise awareness and funding for brain injury rehabilitation. For example, Origami puts on an annual Lids for Kids event, which is a helmet giveaway to promote awareness to brain injuries. These type of events encourage education regarding the 1.7 million head injuries that happen yearly and how to avoid them. The facility also allows for seminars and events regarding concussions. Since concussions are on the rise with sports being implemented at such a young age, many do not realize how much damage they are doing in a child’s brain. These seminars that are placed inside Origami are useful for awareness and perhaps future research funding.Findings and Analysis
