Concussions are Brain Injuries: Protect our Athletes and Children
Why is this important?
This petition is to encourage others to support the passing of a SC bill that that targets a policy on concussions sustained by athletes. Concussions are brain injuries that impact the quality of life of individuals. According to the CDC, "Each year, U.S. emergency departments (EDs) treat an estimated 173,285 sports- and recreation-related TBIs, including concussions, among children and adolescents, from birth to 19 years."
