Please join us to learn about how athletes respond to and recover from head injuries. The event will be held at the Wayland High School Theatre, on May 9, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM.

Two leading clinicians from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center will take us through the latest research on head injury and recovery, with a particular focus on the risks and benefits of sports.
