Mission Statement

In a dedicated effort to continue serving our community, the Novato Community Hospital in collaboration with the Orthopedic Department and in partnership with Novato Unified School District will position Certified Athletic Trainers at local high schools, to oversee the health and safety of the student-athletes.

These Certified Athletic Trainers are healthcare professionals that are educated and experienced in the evaluation and management of athletic injuries.

The Athletic Trainers will also work in conjunction with Coaches, Athletic Administrators, treating Physicians and Therapists to help ensure the care of the student-athletes.

The Novato Community Hospital’s Athletic Trainer Program will work toward the goal of injury prevention in an effort to enhance the student-athlete experience and expand good practices into their lifelong health and well-being.
