You wouldn’t hike barefoot (we hope). So why would you bike, skate, play football or ride a horse without a helmet? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about 1.5 million Americans survive a traumatic brain injury every year, and 176 people a day die from TBI. “There is no such thing as a concussion-proof helmet, but helmets protect people from serious head and brain injury,” said Andrew Ly, M.D., neurologist and advisor for Hoag’s Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Program, part of the Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute. “Helmets are like seat beats for your brain, they protect you from greater injury and can be lifesaving.” To select the helmet that is right for you, Dr. Ly recommends people get acquainted with the CDC’s S.A.F.E. checklist.

Erin Bowlus, a former semi-pro flag football player, endured years of crushing chest pain dismissed as anxiety. But at Hoag, she found a team that truly listened. Despite previous misdiagnoses, renowned surgeon Dr. Dobrowolsky and the Hoag Digestive Health Institute didn't just hear her symptoms; they understood her. After a thorough assessment, Erin underwent a Nissen fundoplication, a minimally invasive procedure that finally brought relief from her severe GERD symptoms. With Hoag's comprehensive support, from pre-surgery preparation to post-op care, Erin experienced a transformative recovery. Now, she's back to enjoying life, free from dietary restrictions and the burden of pain. If you're feeling unheard, consider Hoag for a supportive journey towards healing.
