BIAMD's informational website www.biamd.org received more than 2,800 visits on average every month with resources concerning concussion, brain injury services, and Maryland Brain Injury Waiver being the most requested content. BIAMD continued its weekly #5ThoughtsFriday educational newsletter that was delivered to more than 7,000 individuals with brain injuries, their family members, healthcare providers, professionals, and community partners. In FY 2026, BIAMD continued its virtual educational webinar series delivering accessible information and education about brain injury, rehabilitation, available resources, and other matters related to the lives of people with brain injury. The partnership between BIAMD and the Maryland Department of Health, Behavioral Health Administration continued to provide four TBI Waiver Case Managers and one full-time administrator to help administer the Maryland Brain Injury Waiver Program. BIAMD offered continuous case management services for more than 120 individuals receiving TBI Waiver services. The services included quarterly contacts, Plans of Service development and monitoring, redeterminations, Community Settings Questionnaires, coordination with service providers and state agencies, and participant needs' assistance. BIAMD continued to assist people with brain injury and their families with information on Brain Injury Waiver eligibility, enrollment, and community-based services' access. During FY 2026, BIAMD continued to develop its continuum of brain injury services providing resource facilitation and navigation services. This helps people with brain injuries and their family members find out about and get connected to appropriate healthcare, rehabilitation, behavioral health, housing, benefits, and other community-based services. BIAMD's weekly virtual Check-In Chat continued in FY 2026 and transitioned to a peer-led social program for people with brain injuries. The program has an average participation of 16 people from five states and the District of Columbia. Check-In Chat offers participants an opportunity to meet their peers, exchange experiences, and engage in social interactions while fighting the feeling of loneliness and building up a community of people impacted by brain injury. BIAMD's additional education, outreach, and community engagement activities continued in FY 2026. Those efforts increase the access to brain injury-specific education, resources, and support for people with brain injuries, their families, healthcare professionals, and community partners. Funding challenges at the federal and state levels are one of the main problems for the brain injury community. Increased uncertainty and reduced funding for brain injury research, surveillance, education, outreach, and community-based services prove once again the necessity of BIAMD's activities in providing information and assistance, connecting people with appropriate services, and advocating the needs of Marylanders impacted by brain injury. 589628 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 9 0 true 8 true false false false false true true false false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true false false false true true false false MD X X Caitlin Starr 4104482924 2200 Kernan Drive Gwynn Oak MD 21207 Bryan Pugh Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 94346 0 0 Caitlin Starr Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 93031 0 0 Samantha Adams President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Beverlie Acree Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Grant Treasurer 0.25 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Karen Memphis Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kelly Alexander Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brad Antlitz Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Heather Beauchamp Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Blickenstaff Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joan Carney Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica McWhorter Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Karly Zacharski Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 187377 0 false false false 0 7920 630236 32791 7920 670947 annual conference, other 611430 76965 76965 76965 0 0 0 0 9255 -9255 -9255 -9255 31898 7920 30159 1739 0 0 0 740396 67710 0 0 0 0 150032 112524 18754 18754 0 277480 238946 10578 27956 2366 1862 253 251 18282 14614 1866 1802 35919 29412 2552 3955 0 0 33627 33627 0 0 0 8000 7894 50 56 0 9380 6903 2180 297 1703 1349 173 181 0 3419 2691 366 362 38943 37509 541 893 0 73816 73169 647 0 0 3101 2441 331 329 4734 3723 511 500 dues, memberships 25016 19692 2668 2656 telecommunications 17299 13607 1860 1832 purchase of services 9620 9620 training materials 5470 5470 10713 8202 1185 1326 728920 589628 78142 61150 46766 36497 38984 23988 102091 104447 0 0 0 0 1662 1641 10013 13046 16384 11006 6076 5378 0 0 0 0 0 205592 184997 64809 32738 64809 32738 X 140783 152259 140783 152259 205592 184997 11476 X false true X true false X 597174 654775 663455 729610 670947 3315961 0 0 597174 654775 663455 729610 670947 3315961 0 3315961 3 4 3 4 14 0 4688 -4295 -2206 3488 1739 3414 3319389 0.99900 0.99650 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false true true false false true 443 false true 1106 true 664 false 2213 false false Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description brain injury awareness Part IV - Additional Information 16384 11006 5378 5378 X 783055 12500 30159 42659 740396 740396 771579 12500 30159 42659 728920 728920 Part X : FIN48 Footnote BIAMD has analyzed the tax positions for the year ended June 30, 2026 and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax exempt status.
