Concussion Alliance with Malayka and Connor Gormally
Welcome to Headfirst: A Concussion Podcast, in this, we are joined by Malayka Gormally and Conor Gormally, the founding members of Concussion Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing concussion education and advocacy. Their initiative emerged from their personal experiences with the multifaceted challenges faced by individuals with concussions and their advocates.
Concussion Alliance strives to address the critical gaps in concussion treatment and support through a comprehensive approach that includes educational outreach and policy advocacy. The organization benefits significantly from the expertise of its Board of Directors and the Expert Advisory Board, both of which provide strategic guidance and informed perspectives in the field of concussion management.
