TriHealth, Cincinnati’s nationally recognized health care system, is pleased to announce its participation in a new, 10-year partnership with Miami University and Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine. The new agreement makes TriHealth and Beacon the official sports medicine partners of Miami Athletics. Both health care systems will be the exclusive providers of sports medicine and rehabilitation services for the university.
The new partnership marks the natural progression of the relationship between TriHealth and Miami University. TriHealth has already been serving the needs of Miami’s students, faculty and staff through the student medical center as well as through Oxford-based health care providers.
“This latest collaboration between TriHealth and Miami University marks the next phase of deepening our relationship based on our shared efforts towards a healthier community and Miami’s vision for a health-and wellbeing-focused campus,” said Terri Hanlon Bremer, TriHealth Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “TriHealth already partners with the university to provide health care services to Miami students, faculty and staff through the student medical center as well as McCullough Hyde Memorial Hospital. We are pleased for the opportunity to work with Beacon in providing enhanced athletic health care services to the university for the next decade.”
Miami Athletics serves more than 500 NCAA Division I student athletes across 19 varsity sports.
“We are grateful for the game-changing investment toward Miami Athletics by both TriHealth and Beacon, but we are also excited about enhancing the partnership they share within the Miami campus and Oxford community as well,” said David Sayler, Miami’s director of athletics. “Having TriHealth and Beacon in our corner will ensure our student-athletes’ well-being on and off the field as they pursue their goals of graduating as champions from Miami University.”
TriHealth recognizes the importance of partnering with high schools and colleges in and around Cincinnati as a vital part of serving the area’s short- and long-term health care needs. Along with providing for the physical and behavioral health care for students, faculty and staff, these relationships provide students interested in health care careers the opportunity to learn about the industry, and the role these careers play in serving the Cincinnati community.
