Supporting Our Community

Some of our partnerships include Full Swing Golf RI, Girls on the Run Rhode Island, Reach Out & Read RI, the Ronald McDonald House, Crossroads, Go Red, and many more! Employees can volunteer in the community and earn additional paid time off.  

Caring for Athletes

Through our relationships with schools and teams in our communities we are able to provide athletes care both on the field and in the clinic. In combination with our athletic training program our trainers can provide immediate injury assessment and work in collaboration with our physical therapists throughout the rehab and return to sport process. Ultimately, we reduce the risk of injuries, address them when they do occur and maximize our athlete’s performance.
