Sports Medicine Outreach Program
We, along with St. Elizabeth Regional Medical Center, employ a team of athletic trainers who offer various athletic healthcare services to schools throughout southeast Nebraska as part of a sports medicine outreach program. This program is a community based service which helps improve athletic programs by educating them on preventing and managing sports related injuries. The provision of services is a means to support and augment care provided by local medical providers by offering the services of licensed athletic trainers traveling to and visiting schools on site. This program helps insure that injuries are recognized early, treated immediately and appropriately, thereby allowing injuries to heal properly and reducing the risk of serious injury or
re-injury.
Nebraska Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine and St. Elizabeth Regional Medical Center teamed up to offer the ImPACT Test through the Nebraska Sports Concussion Network & Testing Program.
For athletes who participate in sports that risk sport-related concussion, the Nebraska Sports Concussion Network & Testing Program will provide a baseline brain function test that provides data that can be used to better manage a concussion should such an injury occur.
