Athletic Health

Cumberland Healthcare is proud to offer comprehensive athletic training services to the community. Our licensed athletic trainers are healthcare professionals who collaborate with physicians, EMTs, physical therapists, and occupational therapists in preventing, diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating various medical conditions involving sports injury or physical limitation.

Our athletic health team has provided game coverage, injury prevention, and injury management education for over 30 years for our local schools. One of our athletic health professionals can attend every home varsity game or event for the Cumberland, Turtle Lake, and Prairie Farm School Districts. Our athletic trainers also teach students how to prevent injuries and serve as a liaison for students and parents when working with the student’s healthcare provider.
