Overview
At Holy Name Sports Medicine, we take our commitment to education just as seriously as our commitment to patient care. Educating our patients and those that are involved in their care is simply part of what we do. In fact, it's often the biggest part of what we do.
Holy Name Sports Medicine is involved in educational programs geared toward patients, parents, athletes, coaches, officials, certified athletic trainers, nurses, physicians and others. We host programs at our facilities, and our medical director is available for speaking engagements for groups at their locations.
Over the years, Dr Mendler has been a featured speaker on several television and radio programs as well as giving numerous interviews for newspaper and magazine articles. He has also spoken at several local and national professional meetings and provides lectures and workshops for medical professionals, school systems and athletic programs.
