MISSION STATEMENT
It is our hope that during your time at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, you maintain a successful and injury-free career. However, in competitive athletics, injuries do occur and that is where we step in.
We serve as the initial contact between student-athletes and team physicians in regards to injury management. It is imperative to report any and all injuries to a staff member, which can then provide appropriate care. The staff is also responsible for assisting athletes with scheduling physician appointments.
We hope that all of our student-athletes have a successful and enjoyable experience while attending Hawai‘i Hilo, and it is our goal to provide the best possible care for any medical issues that may arise during this time.
