Cheshire Medical Center (Cheshire), a member of Dartmouth Health, hosted a sports medicine summit on October 16, bringing together approximately 60 healthcare professionals from across the region to share expertise and explore advances in the care of athletes and patients with sports-related injuries.
The event drew physicians, physical and occupational therapists, athletic trainers, physician assistants, and other rehabilitation professionals from Dartmouth Health member locations like Cheshire, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, and Valley Regional Hospital, as well as other local facilities like Monadnock Community Hospital, Elevation Physical Therapy and Keene State College.
The summit featured presentations and discussions on advances in ACL injury treatment, shoulder instability in contact athletes, nonsurgical approaches to tendon injuries, and the role of nutrition and overall wellness in patient care.
Neal Goldenberg, MD, MBA, sports medicine director and orthopaedic surgeon, and Charles Qin, MD, orthopaedic surgeon, both at Cheshire, organized the summit to foster collaboration and networking across medical specialties to improve care for patients and athletes in the region. Following positive feedback from attendees, the team plans to host the summit again.
