Parents and student athletes:

It is our great pleasure to be able to provide a much needed service with the cooperation of Rio
Grande Hospital to our student athletes. The hospital, more specifically PA Brian Freeman and
CEO, have reached out to the schools in order to better help our injury evaluation process
with our athletes. This will be a %100 free service provided by Brian in which he will come to
the high school on Monday mornings to see any athlete that needs to be evaluation due to any
injury sustained in competition throughout the previous week. Brian will conduct the evaluation
and recommend any needed therapy or rehabilitation. This saves you the trip to the doctor or
the ER. The hospital is hopefully going to offer our athletes any needed physical therapy in the
future as well to save the trip and time to Monte Vista. Athletes will be required to have a
referral from their coach or parent before they will be called out of class to see Brian. This is a
work in progress, one we hope will continue to evolve and serve our athletes in a better way for
all parties. Many schools already have this service provided by other therapist or licensed
athletic trainers. This is a great opportunity, please call if you have any questions.
