Why: There is a growing body of evidence that concussion is a manageable injury.  If not recognized early and managed properly concussions have the potential for long term problems and serious complications.  Pre-season baseline testing is an essential component of proper management and we are pleased to offer this free testing to your organization and athletes. Yearly baseline testing will also aid your healthcare providers in making decisions in the event of a concussive injury. 

Save the Brain Helena is a multi-disciplinary group of volunteer local medical professionals dedicated to promoting brain health and safety in the Helena region by providing the most current concussion-related education, training, and treatment recommendations to athletes, parents, coaches, and health care providers.
