JP Sports Medicine Information
Our Athletic Trainers are available for roughly half of the school day and into the evening hours for practices and home games. These healthcare professionals provide care related to injury prevention, immediate and follow-up evaluations, first aid and emergency care, treatment and rehabilitation, and return-to-play decisions for our student-athletes. The Athletic Trainers are responsible for all things medical for St. John Paul the Great sports. They work closely with the school nurse, area physicians, allied health professionals, and emergency medical services to ensure all athletes receive the care they need in the event of an injury or sudden illness.
