Community Sports Institute

Education. Prevention. Care.

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 school and continuing through high school, 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, and supports the coaches and athletes with medical assistance and proper techniques to prevent injuries on the field. This partnership also includes elementary and junior high schools.
