Who we are
The Guardian Program for Sports Medicine is a group of health care professionals, community leaders, and business people who are also parents, spectators, and fans. We see the catastrophic effects of injury and concussion and strive to mitigate that risk for our athletes.
Who we serve
Athletes. And through the services we fund, we hope to support and influence their parents, teams, coaches, schools, and communities in the Triangle.
Mission & vision
Mission: to protect and nourish young athletes equally- before, during and after the game with sports injury prevention, education, and treatment.
Vision: GPSM will serve as a national model for the development of visionary point of care athletic injury prevention and treatment programs. Empowering coaches, parents, and providers with the necessary resources and knowledge, using four pillars:
- Provider education
- Pre-participation evaluation
- Concussion management
- Athletic training services
GPSM will primarily partner with and support athletic programs in traditionally under-served areas to to develop an amateur sports climate in which our athletes are protected by resources traditionally reserved for professional and collegiate athletes.
