Richardson received Honorable Men- tion recognition for her project proposal to offer ImPACT testing locally. DHF and Sanford Vermillion committed to provide the ImPACT testing in Vermillion and Elk Point-Jefferson. Through their generosity, all athletes in these two districts will receive the testing free of charge. Ongoing testing for new students will be made available each year.

Given the inherent difficulties in concussion management, it is important to manage concussions on an individualized basis and to implement baseline testing and/or post-injury neurocognitive testing. This type of concussion assessment can help to objectively evaluate the concussed athlete's post-injury condition and track recovery for safe return to play, thus preventing the cumulative effects of concussion. In fact, neurocognitive testing has recently been called the "cornerstone" of proper concussion management by an international panel of sports medicine experts. ImPACT can be administered by an athletic trainer, school nurse, athletic director, team coach, team doctor, or anyone trained to administer baseline testing. ImPACT is the most widely used computerbased testing program in the world and is implemented effectively across high school, collegiate, and professional levels of sport participation. Richardson and Matt Marx, AT at EP-J are in the process of administer- ing ImPACT. Eighty-seven athletes participated in the baseline testing the week of Aug. 8 with additional sessions were held the week of Aug 15. The sports included for 9th through 12th grade are football, volleyball, varsity softball, and varsity girls and boys soccer. Testing will take place again later in the year for those athletes not yet tested for winter and spring sports. "It is a great opportunity for Vermillion football players to take advantage of the cutting edge ImPACT program. This tool will give us a definitive evaluation of our athlete’s injury so we can have them return to playing at the correct time," said Gary Culver, head coach of the Vermillion High School Tanager football team. “Dakota Hospital Foundation and Sanford Vermillion are very proud to once again demonstrate our commitment to preventative healthcare for our communities. Concussion protection for youth sports is a natural offspring of our existing sports medicine program,” said Mary Jo Olson, MD, medical director, Sanford Clinic Vermillion.
