Riverwood to hold virtual Concussion seminar

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. While typically not life-threatening, the effects of a concussion can be serious.

To learn more, attend a virtual video seminar, “Concussions: What Athletes, Parents and Coaches Should Know”, on Tues, Aug. 30, at 2:00-2:30 p.m., with a short presentation and time for questions and answers. Dr. Austin Krohn, Riverwood Healthcare Center family physician with orthopaedics expertise, will share information on concussions and their medical treatment.

Dr. Krohn completed Sports Medicine Fellowship training from the University of Minnesota. His 12 years of sports coverage experience include serving as a team physician for Robbinsdale Cooper and Hopkins high schools, Bethel University and the University of Minnesota. For three years, he performed baseline concussion evaluations with the Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Timberwolves.
