New partnership delivers accessibility to athletic healthcare education, guidance, and best practices

July 23, 2020 -- Roadrunner Athletics continues to take proactive steps dedicated to the health and safety of student athletes and institutional stakeholders with a new partnership aimed to prioritize athletic healthcare. A unique partnership with the U.S. Council for Athletes' Health will offer Roadrunner Athleics staff, student athletes, and institution stakeholders a unique way to integrate education, survey management, and assessment that will allow institutions to optimize their student athlete healthcare delivery systems.

"We know that returning to competition will be different and we want all of our student-athletes, coaches and staff to be educated and have access to information as needed," said Roadrunner Director of Athletics Brian Rowan. "USCAH is a national leader and NJCAA partner so we are pleased to be working with them and look forward to getting back to competition soon."

The Roadrunners and USCAH partnership is dedicated to promoting athletic healthcare & safety guidance, collaboration, and resources for student athletes developed by sports medicine experts. USCAH's offering to RCSJ includes access to a new, virtual athletics healthcare education and compliance platform, Athletics Healthspace. Athletics Healthspace was developed by USCAH as a new way to deliver healthcare education to athletes through assessments, training, and third-party support.

"The U.S. Council for Athletes' Health is excited for this new partnership regarding athlete health and safety initiatives. We look forward to supporting their health and safety initiatives with proactive programming designed to enhance athlete health, safety, and the overall athletics experience," says James R. Borchers, MD, MPH, Co-Founder & President at USCAH.
