Mount Sinai is Extending Care to the Player and Staff Families as well
Unrivaled presented by Samsung Galaxy announced a dynamic, comprehensive partnership with Mount Sinai Medical Center as the league’s official medical provider. The partnership reflects the emphasis Unrivaled continues to place on the health and safety of its players, on and off the court.
Since the league’s opening night on January 17, Mount Sinai’s physicians have maintained a strong presence at every game and throughout Unrivaled’s state-of-the-art facility in Miami, Florida, offering their trusted brand of high-quality, multidisciplinary care to the league’s athletes, staff, and their families. By extending their services beyond the players, Mount Sinai’s physicians reflect Unrivaled’s mission to support not only on-court performance, but also all aspects of the athletes’ lives.
“Mount Sinai has a long and decorated history of dependable and devoted care for its patients, and we are honored to extend that care to our players and their families,” said Unrivaled Commissioner Micky Lawler. “It has always been our mission to provide our athletes and their families with the support and attention that they deserve, recognizing the sacrifices and commitment required by each one of them to make this league a reality.”
Throughout the season, Mount Sinai’s physicians have been providing and will continue to provide clinical support during games, along with the administration of postseason physicals. In addition, medical evaluation, treatment, diagnostic services, imaging, and specialty care will be available as needed. These services will be devised and executed by an expert team, led by three highly accomplished women.
