Mass General Brigham today announced a new integrated Sports Medicine program that will redefine the sports medicine experience for patients, ensuring seamless, multidisciplinary care from diagnosis through rehabilitation. The program brings together more than 200 specialized physicians and surgeons, and thousands of health care professionals from across the Mass General Brigham system, giving patients access to world-class treatment no matter where they are. 

Our long tradition of expertise and innovation in nonsurgical and surgical orthopedic care has established Mass General Brigham as a premier sports medicine provider and a nationally recognized leader in clinical and translational research in sports medicine. With this new program, we are expanding access to our network and making it easier for all patients – whether they are professional athletes, weekend warriors or just those who lead an active lifestyle – to get the resources and care they need to achieve and feel their best.
