All St. Catherine Hospital Athletic Trainers (AT) are certified by the NATA BOC and licensed by the Kansas Board of Healing Arts. AT’s are healthcare providers who specialize in the prevention, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries and illnesses that occur to athletes and the physically active. They work closely with your coaches, local physicians, physical therapists, and orthopedic surgeons to provide a team of highly skilled professionals to care for injured athletes. AT’s visit their schools each week and evaluate each injured athlete to determine the safest and quickest method to return them to their sport. They work with athletes on their rehabilitation and perform functional testing to determine when the athlete may return to practice and games.
