Free webinar:
5 facts about concussions
Concussions can happen to anyone—not just athletes. In fact, most concussions are not related to sports. Do you know how to spot concussions? If you saw the signs of a concussion, do you know what to do?
 
Join us from noon to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2021, for a free webinar presented by Kelsy Parker, MD on five facts to know about recognizing and treating concussions based on the latest research.
 
It will include:
  • What a concussion is—and is not
  • Common signs to watch for after an accident or fall
  • How early treatment improves recovery
  • Types of professionals and therapies to help recovery
  • Time for Q&A
