🏈 Friday Night Lights Are Back! 🔦💥

As high school football season officially kicks off tonight, we’re proud to recognize the incredible work of our Frye Regional Athletic Trainers and sports medicine providers.

Our Athletic Trainers have been hard at work all summer, preparing student-athletes from our four partner schools for a strong, safe, and successful season. Their dedication to athlete health, performance, and injury prevention is unmatched.

Since 1994, Frye Regional’s Athletic Training Outreach Program has been a cornerstone of community care - placing full-time, hospital-employed Athletic Trainers directly in local high schools. They provide daily on-site support, cover practices and games, and help families navigate the medical system when injuries arise.

Backing them up, our expert FryeCare Sports Medicine providers are always ready to deliver prompt, specialized care to ensure fast recovery and minimal downtime for injured athletes.

Here’s to a season full of exciting competition, teamwork, and good health. Thank you to our Athletic Trainers and sports medicine team for keeping our community strong!

Frye Regional Medical Center is honored to join City of Hickory Parks, Recreation & Sports Tourism as the official healthcare provider for the City of Hickory 5K Series! We gathered at Hickory City Park last Friday for the Lightning Bug Boogie 5k, a glow-in-the-dark night race.

We were able to provide runners with onsite medical assistance, a variety of giveaways, and all the necessary information to help them live their healthiest lives. From scrapes obtained on the trail or blisters from running, Frye Regional is always here to get you back in the race.

Not only did we have a team of professionals at our booth, but also on the trail! Congratulations to several of the 5K winners that work at Frye Regional Medical Center and FryeCare Physicians Network.

Congratulations to the Sterile Processing Department for being honored with the Departmental Best of the Best award!

The Sterile Processing Department (SPD) is crucial for our sanitization process, ensuring that our medical instruments are clean, disinfected, and stored properly for everyday use. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, SPD was faced with the task of reprocessing a large volume of instruments. They worked long days and nights to ensure that our patients were protected every step of the way.

Thank you, SPD, for your commitment and dedication to support our patients every day. Your passion and support continues to embody our mission to make communities healthier.
