Samantha Adams is the Nurse Manager for The Shock Trauma's Center, State Designated, Neurotrauma Center, including Neurotrauma Critical Care and Neurotrauma Intermediate Care units, providing holistic & multidisciplinary care to patients suffering from significant traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. Through collaboration, teamwork, and patient/family engagement, patients are supported with the utmost scientific and medical technologies setting best practice standards with innovation and research.  Sam has a family/personal and professional connection that has opened her eyes and her passion to serve individuals with a brain injury. She appreciates the truth that "if you met one person with a brain injury, then you have met one person with a brain injury". This conceptual injury that affects every person differently has brought her passion to support and educate our community and care providers to ensure a better understanding and ultimately better support/compassionate care for individuals living with a brain injury & their family/friends.  Samantha lives in Joppa MD and when she is not working enjoys ALL OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES! She loves camping in the wilderness, kayaking, hiking, gem/mineral hunting. All music, listening, playing the piano, or drumming a beat on her kitchen table. Sam has a great love for animals – from her beautiful flock of chickens, rabbit named Keven, to a wonderful German Shepherd named Super Nova Scotia.    #5Thoughts Friday: Sandy, State, and Scientist   For more information you can visit www.biamd.org or call the free helpline at 1-800-221-6443.   Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute endorsement of treatments, individuals, or programs which appear herein.
