The
Terrebonne General Health System Community Sports Institute was created to impact future generations
by promoting healthcare education and disease prevention, along with athletic
injury prevention and post-care. The team works with the local school system beginning at elementary-age
throughout high school levels, to teach health education and promote healthy
habits. The Community Sports Institute and our athletic trainers have
been recognized by the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce for volunteer
contributions and services to the Terrebonne Parish community.
This program supports teachers in educating students on healthy strategies,
allowing them to gain exposure to healthcare experts while supporting
the coaches and athletes in medical assistance and proper techniques to
prevent injuries while on the field. This partnership is also inclusive
of elementary and junior high schools.
