What's new?

Over his career as an urgent care physician and through his work as President of the College of Urgent Care Medicine (CUCM), Dr. Christopher Chao has seen the difference it makes when urgent care providers have the knowledge and resources they need to evaluate a patient for a potential concussion.

Concussions are not just invisible injuries – they’re brain injuries, too. March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, so we hosted a CAN Champions Rally Webinar on Thursday, March 21. Watch the recording here.

Dr. Brooke Mills—also known as Miss New Hampshire 2023, a recent graduate of Sherman College of Chiropractic, and founder of National Concussion Awareness Day—is proof that a concussion can happen anytime, any place, and to anyone.

Concussion symptoms can last weeks, months, or even years after the initial injury. This can result in a physical and mental toll on the survivor, making support necessary in recovery.

Over the past year, Concussion Awareness Now has worked tirelessly to change the way people think about concussions. Here, we provide an update of the coalition's activities.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occur in up to 47% of skiers and snowboarders, but there are precautions to prevent TBI in winter sports.

A majority of people most associate concussions with sports, yet there is another invisible group left out of this discussion—domestic violence victims.

On National Concussion Awareness Day, thousands of people joined Concussion Awareness Now in taking the #MelonPledge.

This Concussion Awareness Day, we’re encouraging people to join the cause by taking the #MelonPledge and becoming a Concussion Awareness Now Champion.
