BRSC SPORTS MEDICINE OVERVIEW
Thanks to a unique partnership with our healthcare partners, Baton Rouge Orthopaedic Clinic and Our Lady of the Lake Health System, BRSC can provide quality, on-site care for players in need of medical treatments and assessments for injuries sustained during play. BRSC's certified athletic trainers, employed through the BROC Foundation, Inc., are available to treat and assess injuries suffered during games, coordinate doctor appointments, set up referrals, and assist with the scheduling of surgeries. As part of the partnership, BRSC members will receive priority appointments with our healthcare partners.
In addition to treating injuries, BRSC athletic trainers, Riley Proffer and Scott Arceneaux, will also provide education to BRSC members, coaches, and staff regarding concussions, injury prevention, and proper nutrition. The athletic trainers will also attend practices, games, and tournaments held by BRSC as outlined below in the Program Services chart.
"Through this program, our goal is twofold. For injured players, we want to help BRSC with on-site treatment to stabilize a significant injury and then ensure the player gets the next level of care as quickly as possible," said Trey Williamson, CEO of Baton Rouge Orthopaedic Clinic.
Mr. Williamson added that the second goal is to help BRSC staff, coaches, parents, and players learn the steps to take through nutrition, training, and injury-prevention techniques that lessen the chances of an injury occurring.
