The award recognizes secondary schools that provide safe environments for student athletes through proper equipment, facilities, and injury prevention techniques, among other criteria.
The on-site licensed athletic trainers – Jessica Falvo, Tonya McKenzie, Nick Henry, Mick Koyack, Brandon Mazza, and Gaetano Sanchioli – are contracted through UPMC Sports Medicine. They work to provide quality, state-of-the-art methods for the prevention of injuries, outstanding care, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries.
Several UPMC athletic trainers were honored recently with the National Athletic Trainers’ Association’s “Safe Schools” Award.
