Athletic Trainer Information

What is an athletic trainer?

Athletic trainers are health care providers that are trained in prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. We are onsite for all DHS athletic events and look forward to working with all DHS athletes and their families.  If you sustain an injury when we are not on campus, please come in the next day of your sport and we are happy to see you then.

Specific injury and concussion forms can be found in the tabs on the left side of this page.

We would like to thank you all for allowing us to work with your student athletes. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us, we're here to help in any way we can!
