Your safety is a priority. In the event a participant sustains a head injury while participating in a RecWell facility or program, RecWell Concussion Protocols will be initiated. Based on signs observed and the symptoms reported by the participant, the recommendation may be made for the participant to refrain from further physical activity until care and clearance is rendered by a medical professional.
The RecWell athletic training staff maintain health information and medical records for athletic injuries sustained during RecWell participation. These records and health information are considered protected health information (PHI). Under HIPAA, the health insurance portability and accountability act, RecWell participants' PHI, including evaluations, care, and treatment will be protected and private. RecWell athletic training staff will only disclose health information to applicable RecWell administrators and club coaching staff to relay whether a participant can safely continue to participate in RecWell programming.
Our program at RecWell aligns its standards of practice as stated by National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA). For additional information regarding these standards of practice, please see the resources below.
