TU Launches Professional Athlete Care Team

A "first of its kind" program, we claim

"As far as I know, this is the only facility that's set up like this — designed specifically to care for former professional athletes," said Dr. Greg Stewart, PACT medical director and Tulane's chief of physical medicine and rehabilitation. "This program is designed to protect their confidentiality, to make sure we treat them as patients, and an understanding that at the end of the day ... we're giving them the information: This is your baseline, this is your heart, your brain, this is your mental health, this is your joints, this is everything you've got."
“We will expect success in all endeavors and be prepared to assess and hold ourselves accountable when we aren't successful. Tulane is a top 40 academic institution and it should expect nothing less from its athletic department.” --Troy Dannen 11.5.16
