University of Mississippi Athletics and Baptist North Mississippi form partnership

The University of Mississippi athletic department recently partnered with Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi to provide comprehensive health care for its student athletes.

“We are excited about entering into a partnership with Baptist North Mississippi and its professional staff,” said Ole Miss athletics director Pete Boone. “Our partnership enhances our ability to provide the very best health care for our student athletes.”

The agreement calls for Baptist North Mississippi to conduct preparticipation physicals for all Ole Miss student athletes, as well on-site physical therapy services. Baptist donated an imaging machine to the university and has provided a radiology technician to operate it.

“Athletic training is an allied health care profession and this relationship with Baptist North Mississippi further aligns us with a quality health care team,” said Ole Miss associate athletics director of sports medicine Shannon Singletary. “This relationship allows us to provide the latest health care technology in all areas, including diagnostic services, surgery and specialized rehabilitation for all of our student athletes.”

In addition, Baptist North Mississippi provides nutrition, laboratory and other services athletes may need. The hospital also will provide continuing education on topics such as first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and advanced cardiac life support for Ole Miss athletic training staff.

“We are excited about this partnership with the university’s athletic department,” said Zach Chandler, administrator and CEO of Baptist North Mississippi. “We are proud to be in partnership with the university’s athletic programs, as we see them continuously building on the rich foundation of the past by expanding the health care services offered to each of their student athletes. We want to provide a full spectrum of care to keep all of their student athletes as healthy as possible.”
