Our SportsCare for Injury Care and Performance Improvement

SportsCare at Wyandot Memorial Hospital partners with local schools for athlete-centered injury care and performance improvement training techniques.

SportsCare provides a certified athletic trainer to Carey High School and Upper Sandusky High School as part of the athletic staff. As a healthcare professional, an athletic trainer is responsible for injury and illness prevention, wellness promotion and education, emergent care, examination and clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.

SportsCare athletic trainers work with coaches and athletes in all sports for on-site medical care for practices and games or matches. They treat and manage sports injuries, illnesses and conditions; and coordinates care with UrgentCare, the Emergency Department and medical and rehabilitative specialists at Wyandot Memorial Hospital as needed. They also provide concussion prevention and management, and streamline return-to-play to keep athletes safe and in the game.
