Gwinnett offering free concussion baseline testing for young athletes

Gwinnett County Public Schools and Gwinnett Medical Center will offer free concussion baseline testing for young athletes this weekend.

The testing will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at 10 Gwinnett high schools, and is open to anyone ages 12 and up. The test "establishes a baseline profile of how the brain functions pre-injury, which is imperative in diagnosing and treating concussions," the school system said in a news release.

"Participants will learn about concussions and baselines, complete the baseline testing and finish with an optional post-test Q&A," the release said.
