EVANSVILLE, IN (August 7) – As young athletes prepare to hit the fields and courts, prioritizing their brain health is more important than ever. To ensure the safety of our local youth, the Ascension St. Vincent Sports Concussion Alliance, in partnership with Tri-State Orthopaedics and ProRehab, is hosting a free ImPACT baseline concussion testing event for athletes ages 10
and older.
Concussions are a serious reality of youth sports, and improper management can cause severe, long-term health consequences. Safely managing head injuries relies on reliable, individualized data before an injury occurs.
To provide this critical safeguard, local medical professionals use ImPACT (Immediate Post-concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing), a computer-based
evaluation, to establish an athlete’s pre-season baseline cognitive function.
Event Details:
● Date: Thursday, August 13th
● Time: 3:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
● Location: Ascension St. Vincent Center for Advanced Medicine Building (901 St. Marys
Drive)
● Registration: Registration is required. Parents and athletes can register using the QR
code or link found on the official event flyer.
Parents, coaches, and athletes are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this free event to ensure a safe and healthy athletic season.
