The UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion program celebrates 25 years this year and appropriately honored Dr. Mark Lovell for distinguished contributions to the field of concussion and to our program. Concussion grand rounds – where invited speakers present cutting-edge clinical research to colleagues – has also been renamed in his honor. Mark Lovell, PhD, is a retired professor of both orthopaedic surgery and neurological surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. He was the founding director of the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program, starting it in 2000 alongside Dr. Micky Collins as executive director, and later in 2010 recruiting Dr. Anthony Kontos as research director. Dr. Lovell, along with Dr. Collins and Dr. Joseph Maroon, were the co-developers of the ImPACT computerized concussion testing tool, which is one of the most widely used tools in the field. We are proud to celebrate our concussion clinic and research program’s 25 years of getting people back to sports and life after concussion, and to honor Dr. Lovell, whose contributions have helped the lives of millions of patients with this injury.
