Baseline concussion testing is available to interested individuals that have not had a concussion or who may have previously experienced a concussion. A baseline test provides information about a person’s normal level of brain function. If a concussion occurs, these test results are compared with test results taken after the concussion. This information can help your doctor guide a safe return to school, work, sports and other activity.

• Baseline concussion testing is recommended for all athletes age 10 and older
• The fee is $29; health insurances do not cover this fee
• A physician referral is not required

By appointment, the sports concussion clinic is currently held:
