Athletic concussions - Part 2
In “Athletic Concussions - Part 1,” I discussed how recent research has guided the immediate assessment and management of concussions in sports. With this article, I will continue this topic by discussing how research has affected the subsequent evaluation and treatment of concussions.
Nothing comes close to riding the Bluffton 1923 Studebaker fire truck if you are a Bluffton elementary student. Raise your hand if you've ever stood in the position of these first graders. We see lots of hands. Riding this truck is almost a requirement for graduation from Bluffton High School. This is Fire Prevention Week and the Bluffton fire department is cruising town in a 95-year-old Bluffton classic. Nothing ever changes here.
Blanchard Valley Medical Practices have scheduled several flu shot clinics for the patients of Putnam Primary Care Ottawa, Bluffton Primary Care and Caughman Health Center. Patients must schedule an appointment to receive the shot. The flu shot clinic schedule is as follows:

If you are 21 or older and like to drive, Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio has a rewarding volunteer opportunity for you.
MHCO is seeking to add drivers to its group of medical transport volunteers. The time commitment is flexible, and driving is only for medical transports. Trips are made Monday through Friday and are typically from Bluffton to the Findlay/Lima area.
According to Jessica Strahm, volunteer coordinator, MHCO provides well-maintained small buses and a mini-van for the transport of its elders who use scooters or are in wheelchairs.
