The helmet ratings are the culmination of over a decade of research identifying which helmets best reduce concussion risk. This work is done as part of Virginia Tech’s service mission and is 100% independent of any funding or influence from helmet manufacturers. Please visit the Virginia Tech helmet lab website at bit.ly/VirginiaTechHelmets and spread the word to aid in lowering concussion risk in your community 🏇⚾️🥎

    Kara Williams is the co-founder of Brain Treatment Foundation, a 501(c)3 dedicated to the education, active rehabilitation and empowerment of Americans suffering from brain injuries.

    Being married to a Navy pilot for the last 16 years, Kara has spent much of that time working with wounded warriors and special needs children. She has played an instrumental role in building out research for veterans suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Stress and continues to work with cutting edge medical treatments and programs in an effort to build a pipeline for TBI/PTS patients that is not only effective in symptom relief, but provides healing with longevity.

    Through working closely with service members, a large portion falling under the SOCOM umbrella, Kara experienced the struggles of TBI/PTS and the 22/day suicide rate first hand. The tremendous need inspired Kara to advocate for not only more effective treatments, but accurate baseline testing, continuing evaluations, long-term care for service members and education about brain health. She continues to lobby on Capitol Hill and work with public health care authors to affect real change on a level greater than any individual organization.

    Nicole Fisher is the founder and President of HHR Strategies, a health care and human rights focused advising firm. She is also a senior policy advisor on Capitol Hill and expert on health economics, technology, and reform, specifically as they impact vulnerable populations. Fisher writes for Forbes, highlighting ideas and advising companies and people that are changing the health landscape, and she curates a monthly international dinner series, “A Seat at the Table,” bringing together thought leaders for an off-the-record discussion of moving health policy and planning forward. She is currently pursuing a doctoral degree at the University of North Carolina. Before pursuing her doctorate, Fisher earned her master’s degree in public policy from the University of Chicago and her undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri. Her health and policy work at those institutions emphasized underserved populations, women's and children’s issues, and brain health. She serves on several boards for domestic and international health organizations and frequently speaks on health reform, innovation, neuroscience, human rights, and the context surrounding health. Her writing has appeared in numerous journals and publications, and her talks can be found on the United Nations website and various news outlets.
    But her proudest work is seeing brain research in action, and thus working with Kara Williams and the Brain Treatment Foundation, to get personalized treatment to those who deserve it most.
