Proud Partners in Local Athletics
We proudly support student athletes throughout central Arkansas. Our partnerships include on-site care and event coverage at:
Collaborative Care for Every Athlete
Our team combines specialists from many areas with a strong dedication to sports medicine. We meet several times throughout the year to:
- Remove barriers to care and expand access
- Standardize injury response protocols (such as for concussions, hamstring injuries, heat illness, and more)
- Coordinate event coverage for school and community sports
- Organize physical exams for student athletes
- Explore prevention strategies
- Improve training tools, equipment, and recovery programs
This is not health care created in a one-size-fits-all system. This is your health care—provided by a team focused on quality, access, and personal connection.
Easy Access for Coaches, Trainers, and Providers
Our certified athletic trainers work directly with student athletes at area schools, on the sidelines, and during practices. They play a vital role in early intervention, injury management, and connecting athletes to our medical team for follow-up care.
When an athlete gets hurt, fast care matters. That’s why our team emphasizes clear communication and quick action. We provide:
- Direct contact for referring providers, athletic trainers, and coaches
- Quick evaluations and accurate diagnoses
- Seamless referrals to specialists
- Full support throughout recovery
