St. Bernards Sports Medicine

We’re proud to be the first hospital in the state to integrate physical therapy directly into our Emergency Department. With PT expertise on the front lines, patients with mobility issues or neuro-musculoskeletal concerns can get assessed and treated right in the ED, often avoiding unnecessary imaging, extra medications, or a hospital admission.

Meet David Flores, PT, DPT, the first physical therapist serving inside our ED. He’s helping patients move safely and heal faster. His specialized training and bilingual care let us support even more of our community when they need it most.

This program is just the beginning, and we’re excited to lead the way in innovative emergency care for our community.

We held our annual Coach’s Clinic this month and it was another successful event. These area coaches left with all of their required AAA courses, CPR certified, and will be better equipped with taping their athletes if their ATC is unavailable. Special thanks to Jonesboro Schools for hosting us this year, and speakers Dr Morgan Benefield, Cory Weir ATC, Brian Griffith ATC, and Leah Hill ATC. We can’t wait to see everyone again next year!
