COMMUNITY ATHLETIC TRAINER PROGRAM

​

Athletes participating in every sport at the collegiate and professional levels rely on an athletic trainer, but unfortunately, this is not always the case with high school athletes. The DRH Health Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Program hopes to address this issue in Stephens and Jefferson counties.

​

The first program has been in place at Duncan High School since 2017, with Certified and Licensed Athletic Trainer, Amanda Woods, M.Ed, LAT, ATC.
