All of the services provided by The Tri-State Advocacy Project are FREE of charge.

Treatment and care for trauma patients has changed drastically in the past two decades. As more patients survive catastrophic injuries, they now have a greater need for extended rehabilitation and home care, but unfortunately, the payment for this care has become more difficult to obtain. As advocates, we help the patient and family identify all sources of funding, to allow the patient to maximize their rehabilitation potential and live as independently as possible.
