Mount Nittany Health is proud to collaborate with Bellefonte, Bald Eagle, Penns Valley and State College school districts to provide certified athletic trainers for their district sports programs. This collaboration ensures that student athletes receive high-quality, professional care to support their health and well-being both on and off the field.
Mount Nittany Health’s athletic trainers provide consistent, on-site support throughout the school day and beyond scheduled practices, games and events. They staff the training rooms and are available for pre- and post-event care, offering expert guidance on injury prevention, emergency care, diagnosis and rehabilitation. The continued growth of these training programs across four area school districts reflects Mount Nittany Health’s commitment to supporting student athletes and serving the local community.
“At Mount Nittany Health, we understand the importance of keeping student athletes safe and healthy,” said Kevin Wilson, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Mount Nittany Health and team physician for these school districts. “Our athletic trainers are skilled healthcare professionals who work closely with coaches, parents and students to ensure that injuries are properly addressed and that athletes can continue to compete safely.”
Athletic trainers are a critical resource in today’s competitive sports environment, providing immediate care during injuries, managing recovery plans and helping athletes return to play quickly and safely. Mount Nittany Health’s trainers work alongside the four school districts’ athletic staff to help athletes stay in peak condition throughout the season.
Mount Nittany Health’s athletic trainers are an integrated part of the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine practice, which offers complete orthopedic care including surgical and non-surgical treatment options tailored to each patient.
