A Personalized Approach
At South Kent. we believe in building a personalized approach for every athlete. Our Athletic Training and Sports Medicine department provides student-athletes, faculty, and staff with certified and state licensed comprehensive athletic training services of the highest quality.
Athletic trainers are healthcare professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.
We define quality as having the best patient care possible while achieving maximum patient satisfaction. South Kent School Certified Athletic Trainers fulfill this mission while employing the utmost compassion and furnishing the knowledge and education to enable each patient to return to his or her own level of athletic activity.
