2014 CENTENNIAL KNIGHTS SENIOR NIGHT November 7th 2014
NEED
A team of concussion experts.
WANT
Doctors who cared how much sports meant to her.
While Gwinnett Medical Center has long specialized in a variety of sports injuries, improving the standard of care for athletes who suffer concussions is another one of our top priorities. At the new Concussion Institute at Gwinnett Medical Center– Duluth, our highly trained staff has extensive concussion treatment training and utilizes the latest technologies, like our Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) program. Our goal is to begin treating concussions as soon as possible in order to reduce the chance of follow-up concussions, especially among students. This is one of the reasons why Gwinnett Medical Center has placed certified athletic trainers in numerous high schools across the area. This unique approach is one more reason we’re the only hospital in the region committed to Transforming Healthcare.
