Many high school athletes across North Carolina get their sports medicine care the old-fashioned way: from a coach with basic first aid training, or a teacher who took a 10-hour course to become a “state-approved first responder.” That patchwork system has left student-athletes in many communities without consistent access to real healthcare professionals.

Atrium Health wants more for the communities it serves.

Through an innovative partnership with schools across the region, Atrium Health is rethinking how student-athletes receive care: on campus, in real time, and with direct access to specialists who know what it takes to get them back in the game.
