‼️Countdown to Preseason: 5 Days to Go!‼️

As we approach the start of preseason, we want to know: how are you preparing for the upcoming season?

Today, our athletic trainers dedicated their time to ensuring that our emergency action plans are current and effective. We collaborated with our colleagues from Husson University Sports Medicine to practice various on-field scenarios, enhancing our skills in equipment removal and emergency response. Thank you to our own Allison Bleakney, ATC, for leading a valuable refresher on best practices for managing emergency injuries and fostering collaboration and communication among multidisciplinary healthcare providers.
