Based in Plano, TX, since 1988, Dr. Keith Reisler provides obstetrics and gynecological services based at his own private practice. In order to network with colleagues and stay abreast of current advances in medicine, Keith Reisler, MD, belongs to several professional organizations, including the Texas Medical Association.
Throughout March, coinciding with Brain Injury Awareness Month, the Texas Medical Association (TMA) provided nearly 1,000 free bicycle helmets to children as part of the organization’s Hard Hats for Little Heads initiative. The organization held giveaway events at numerous locations statewide, providing educational material and other information stressing the safety that properly fit helmets provide to riders.
Research shows that the simplest, most effective way to prevent a head injury in a bicycle accident is by wearing a helmet. TMA began its Hard Hats for Little Heads program 23 years ago as a way to get helmets into the hands of children who participate in many different riding activities, including bicycling, rollerblading, skateboarding, and scooter riding. To date, the organization has provided over 260,000 helmets as part of the program.
