When the National Athletic Testing Association in Omaha, Nebraska needed someone in the Gaston area to perform on-site testing of local high school athletes, they recruited Gaston Memorial. Our sports medicine group jumped at the opportunity. But soon it was the athletes who were doing the jumping. And sprinting, And stretching. Because the program tests individuals for their power, agility and endurance skills. And during testing, our sports medicine specialists are able to help athletes in ways that can improve performances, and more importantly, reduce injuries. Which is only natural because that's what we do every day at the Rehab and Sports NM ledicine Center. From simple sprained ankles to : the most advanced arthroscopic and reconstructive procedures, we think youll also agree our sports medicine program kicks gluteus maximus - to use a medical term. =) Gaston _ ih HealthCare
