Sports Medicine

Services Rendered - What We Do

HNU's Athletic Training Staff is responsible for the health of the student-athletes from the time they arrive on campus, aiding in the prevention, care, management & rehabilitation of athletic injuries/illnesses. The primary goal of the HNU program is to keep athletes healthy and prepared for competition by reducing their susceptibility to injury & decreasing the subsequent effect that any injuries might have on them. When student-athletes do get injured, they are treated by our Head Athletic Trainer who has more than 25 yrs experience as a Certified Athletic Trainer.


Where We Work

The HNU Athletic Training Room is located between the Men's & Women's Locker Room by the pool @ Tobin Gym. The Training Room is normally open for operation Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Training Room schedule is flexible to include home events that occur other then the times listed above.
