Akron Children’s Hospital supports local student-athletes by providing athletic training services at dozens of local high schools. Our certified athletic trainers are an important part of the care team that includes coaches, parents and physicians. From injury prevention to customized rehabilitation programs, athletic trainers are dedicated to helping young athletes stay in the game. We even have The Locker Room that provides sports equipment for young athletes in need.
Akron Children’s uses Healthy Roster, a HIPAA-compliant and secure mobile injury documentation tool with live chat and video features. It allows our athletic trainers to improve communication with coaches and parents about an injured athlete’s care and participation status. Healthy Roster is free to parents; parents can contact their school’s athletic trainer to be invited to use the app.
Akron Children’s Hospital is also the team medical provider for the Youngstown Phantoms hockey team.
