Keeping young athletes
at the top of their game
The 101 Awards benefit youth sports medicine at
The University of Kansas Hospital
Proceeds from the 2016 101 Awards will help the
experts at the Sports Medicine & Performance Center
at The University of Kansas Hospital improve the
health and wellness of student athletes throughout
the region.
Our multidisciplinary team of specialists offers all the
latest prevention and treatment options, developing
comprehensive programs for young athletes in
area schools and leagues. Services include sports
physicals, baseline concussion testing and the fulltime availability of a certified athletic trainer. These
athletic trainers handle sports medicine-related
duties like conditioning, rehabilitation and nutrition
assistance. They also are on site during summer
camps and they work closely with school nurses on
medical issues.
About The University of Kansas Hospital
The University of Kansas Hospital is a destination
center for specialized services, ranking among
the nation’s leading hospitals for comprehensive,
complex care, surgery and diagnosis. U.S. News &
World Report’s Best Hospitals lists for 2015-2016
named our hospital among the nation’s 50 best
for adult care in all 12 data-dependent medical and
surgical specialties — one of just a few hospitals in
the nation so honored.
As a not-for-profit organization, The University of
Kansas Hospital receives no state or local funding,
relying instead on generous philanthropy and
excellent fiscal management.
While celebrating achievement in professional
football, the 101 Awards will help The University of
Kansas Hospital better serve more young athletes.
