“Since its inception 23 years ago, we have provided thousands of free exams for student-athletes, allowing them to safely participate in the sports they love,” said pediatric orthopedic surgeon Dr. Aristides Cruz Jr.
University Orthopedics is the official orthopedic provider of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association and the Eastern Connecticut Conference.
“These young athletes have been through so much over the past two years, with some of them missing an entire year or more of their sport,” said Terry Moreno Toste, physical therapist and program director. “We look forward to doing our part not only to help them get back to doing what they love but helping them do so safely.”
Appointments are not necessary for the exams.
