After heroically shielding a friend from a gun-wielding assailant while on a fishing trip, Travis was hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the head. Unable to walk and barely able to talk, he went to the Sutter Rehabilitation Institute’s Traumatic Brain Injury Program. Within 15 days, they were able to not only help Travis walk again, but also recover his verbal ability through speech therapy.
