Rehab Center - Athletic Trainers
Our athletic trainers are probably often
among the least visible members of our staff — on
the sidelines at football games, in high school weight
rooms, and helping behind-the-scenes with injury prevention
and sports medicine strategies. Yet they make a tremendous
difference in the health of young athletes in our area.
