FREE Pre-Concussion Screening
Carroll College nursing students will be offering
Free Pre-concussion Screenings
for HAYHA Players through the Mobile Health Unit on
Monday, October 6th & Tuesday, October 7th
from 4:00–8:00 p.m.
Screening will take place in the outdoor picnic area of Steed Arena. Consent form required (see below).
The assessment takes only about 10 minutes, and licensed nurses along with a physician will be on site overseeing the process and supporting the athletes. Parents do not need to be present for the screening; however, a signed waiver by a parent is required (attached).
Pre-concussion screenings give athletes a takeaway baseline document to compare against if they ever obtain a head injury. A best practice is to save a picture to a phone or keep the document in the player's hockey bag. This makes it easier for coaches, parents, and healthcare providers to recognize a concussion and know when it’s safe for kids to get back in the game. HAYHA is excited to be able to offer this valuable resource for the hockey community.
We hope you take advantage of this valuable resource.
