A proud graduate of West Virginia University, Casey laid the foundation for her career with a solid academic grounding in athletic training and sports medicine. Her passion for injury prevention and recovery began during her collegiate years and has since evolved into a focused expertise in concussion care.

Over the past 20 years, Casey has made significant contributions in both the sports and healthcare fields. She has worked in a variety of settings, including the prestigious HeadFirst Concussion Clinic, where she became known for her exceptional ability to assess, treat, and rehabilitate athletes suffering from mTBI. At Archbishop Spalding High School, she demonstrated her commitment to the next generation of athletes by developing and implementing cutting-edge concussion protocols to protect young players. Her tenure at the United States Naval Academy further exemplifies her ability to manage high-stakes, high-performance environments.

Casey’s professional philosophy is rooted in compassion, precision, and evidence-based care. Having treated thousands of mTBI patients, she understands the complexities of brain injuries and the profound impact they can have on individuals and their families. Her approach emphasizes not only physical recovery but also the mental and emotional well-being of her patients.

In her role at NeuroPro Concussion Clinic, Casey is dedicated to bridging the gap between medical providers, patients, and referral sources.

Her wealth of knowledge, coupled with her personable and approachable demeanor, ensures that patients and families feel supported and informed throughout the process.

Hayli Bridge is a graduate student at American Military University, where she is pursuing a Master of Arts in Psychology with a concentration in Military and Trauma Psychology. She is on track to complete her degree in the spring of 2026. A U.S. Army veteran with a background in Special Operations and service as a Combat Medic, Hayli brings a wealth of firsthand experience in the acute care and triage of mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) sustained through blast exposures, airborne operations, and the cumulative effects of high-intensity training.

Her clinical interests are firmly grounded in the realities of military medicine. Having witnessed the limitations and gaps in conventional TBI care within the military system, she developed a keen interest in neuropsychology as a more comprehensive and human-centered approach to brain injury rehabilitation. Hayli is particularly driven to improve clinical outcomes for service members and veterans, with a long-term professional focus on the neuropsychological care of Special Operations personnel.

Currently residing in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Hayli is completing an internship with NeuroPro Concussion Clinic, where she is actively involved in concussion assessment, treatment planning, and multidisciplinary case integration. She is preparing to apply to doctoral programs in psychology, with the goal of further developing her expertise at the intersection of brain injury, trauma, and performance under pressure.
