CHS Athletics Participate in Concussion Training
Photo and Information Submitted by Rob Rainville, CHS Athletic Director
Chelan Athletics would like to thank Dr. Trent Lyman and the Lake Chelan Community Hospital for the many programs of health and wellness they provide in support of our student-athletes.
Most recently, with increased concerns around concussions, Dr. Lyman and his staff have produced a concussion baseline test that our student-athletes take, which in return, becomes an added resource for them to use when an injury may occur. Impact testing is a program that Dr. Lyman and his staff use to assist when making a diagnosis on a concussion. The test normally would cost $40 a student-athlete, however, LCCH provides this test to all CHS student-athletes who play contact sports free of charge.
In the photo above, the 2018 girls soccer team members are taking the baseline test. All football and girls soccer student-athletes have taken this concussion test. In the future, wrestling, girls and boys basketball, boys soccer, baseball and softball student-athletes will take the concussion baseline test before their seasons begin.
We are fortunate to have so much support in Chelan in keeping our student-athletes safer and more informed. We thank all of you for your service and GO GOATS!
