Newswise — Kevin Crutchfield, M.D., is one of the country's foremost experts on concussions and how they affect the brain. He is the director of the Comprehensive Sports Concussion Program for LifeBridge Health in Baltimore, Md., where he provides care to athletes suffering from concussions.
He serves as an independent neurologist for the NFL's Baltimore Ravens, MLB's Baltimore Orioles and MSL's D.C. United. Dr. Crutchfield took the lead in helping secure the passage of important legislation that now protects Maryland's student-athletes from the dangerous effects of concussions.
