Heads Up...
It's the Law
Beginning September 1, 2010 all athletic directors, medical staff, coaches, parents and support staff of high school athletics will have to complete a safety training course on sports related concussions.
As many as 3.8 million sports and recreation-related concussions occur in the United States each year. A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or body that causes the head to move rapidly back and forth. What may appear to be a mild bump or blow can be serious. Coaches, parents or anyone caring for young athletes play a vital role in identifying and responding to the signs and symptoms of a concussion. Hallmark Health invites you to a free seminar to help you understand and recognize this injury and to learn more about the new certification requirements.
