Muskegon High School, in conjunction with Mercy Health Sports Medicine, has developed a unified approach to the care of student-athletes when a diagnosis of concussion has been made by a medical professional. The components of the post-concussion program include:
*Removal from competition
*Observation for Signs of Neurologic Deterioration
*Physical Rest and Neurocognitive Rest
*Somatic Symptoms
*Return to Play Protocol
