Louisiana Traumatic Head & Spinal Cord Injury (THSCI) Advisory Board - The program provides services to Louisiana citizens who survive traumatic brain or traumatic spinal cord injuries. The THSCI Trust Fund program enables individuals to return to a reasonable level of functioning and independent living in their communities. The THSCI was created by the Louisiana Legislature in 1993 with Act 654. Act 654 imposes additional fees on motor vehicle violations in Louisiana for the offenses of driving under the influence, reckless operation, and speeding. These fees provide the

funds for the operation of this program. Included in the Law are provisions for a Traumatic Head & Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund Advisory Board. Please click here for more information regarding meetings, rules, and past minutes. We consider this a great honor as it confirms that our members are valuable contributors to the future of healthcare in Louisiana.
