Ben Richards
While serving in Iraq, Ben Richards was nearly killed by a suicide bomber. His recovery stands as a model case study for patients with Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD. With Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Ben experienced accelerated healing and meaningful improvement, which helped him to rejoin his family and take his rightful place as husband and father. And while he was subsequently medically retired from the Army after 16 years of service, Ben credits Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy with saving his life and his family. He holds degrees from the United States Military Academy at West Point and from Georgetown University. He recently served as the President of Hyperbaric Medicine International, a large professional medical association dedicated to the advancement of Hyperbaric Medicine. He and his wife, Farrah, have four children and live in Washington State.
