U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, center, speaks briefly to patient Bob Hubble at the Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas Recovery Center for neurologically related conditions as she tours the facility Friday. "I am filled with hope when I see the work that goes on in this facility," Boxer said. The center has contracted with the U.S. military to help provide care for returning service members who have suffered mild traumatic brain injuries. This treatment allows more than 75 percent of Scripps’ military patients enrolled in this program to return to their units, officials said.
