From sidelines to stovetops! 🧑‍🍳👩‍🍳

This National Athletic Training Month, our athletic trainers traded in their medical supplies for aprons and recipes as guest chefs at the Ronald McDonald House of Maine. Grateful for the opportunity to give back, serve a meal, and support families staying at RMH.

Being an athletic trainer isn't just about showing up for athletes - it's about showing up for people.
