Did you know Hancock County high schools are equipped with athletic trainers from Hancock Health? These trained professionals attend every sporting event and keep athletes safe behind the scenes with wrapping, icing, caring for injuries, rehabbing, and training programs. They are trained to quickly assess an injury with the added benefit of being there when an injury happens. This allows them to get a clearer picture of the mechanism and which body parts are involved. Keeping athletes safe and their bodies less prone to repeating injuries is one reason that sports medicine is an important asset in our high schools.

Student-athletes needing more than what can be offered by athletic trainers are referred to either a physician through Hancock Health or their own practitioner of choice. Rehabilitation services through Hancock Health are available at Hancock Regional Hospital as well as at each of the Hancock Wellness Centers. With the opening of the New Palestine location, that makes for a total of four outpatient clinics. The availability of aquatics therapy, as well as dry-land therapy, means students and patients are able to get a full scope of rehabilitation for many injuries through Hancock Health.

スポーツ医学はアスリート、この場合は地域の学生アスリートに焦点を当てていますが、この方法論の枠組みはリハビリテーションと整形外科に基づいています。両方の these services are offered to anyone with an injury through the Hancock Health system, Hancock Regional Hospital, and all of the Wellness Center locations with a physician referral.

The sports medicine program through Hancock Health Rehabilitation strives to provide even more athletic training services to a growing body of students in the coming years. Athletic trainers are currently stationed within high schools, and Hancock Health hopes to branch out to help younger athletes of all ages, as they partner with more physicians and orthopedists to create a comprehensive team. Hancock Health is known for its passion for serving the community, and the sports medicine program remains a shining example of keeping our youth safe and healthy.
