outheast MIssouri’s sports medicine staff strives to provide the best care possible for its student-athletes. On Aug. 14, 2019, SEMO and SoutheastHEALTH entered a collaborative partnership in which SoutheastHEALTH will serve as comprehensive providers of orthopedic and sports medicine services for the University’s NCAA Division I athletics program, its intramural and club sport participants and for the University’s performing arts students. Under the agreement, SoutheastHEALTH orthopedic and sports medicine physicians provide orthopedic, primary medical care, athletic training and physical therapy services, and invest in the University by providing diagnostic equipment and athletic training supplies, as well as scholarships for students.
SoutheastHEALTH orthopedists Dr. Anthony McPherron, Dr. Matthew Baker and Dr. Charity Jacobs, and SoutheastHEALTH sports medicine physician Andrew Lawrence serve as the official team physicians of SEMO. The sports medicine staff begins treatments and rehabilitation starting as early as 6 a.m., and is available until the last student-athlete is through. There are currently four sports medicine facilities on campus. The staff treats out of the Rosengarten Athletic Complex, where the primary training room is located. There are two other satellite athletic training rooms, including one at Houck Field House and one at the Show Me Center.
