Logan
University is teaming up with the Cuba’s Institute of Sports Medicine
to create a chiropractic and sports medicine partnership.
The
agreement between Chesterfield-based Logan and the Institute of Sports
Medicine, which is the health care provider for elite athletes in Cuba,
includes faculty exchanges between the two institutions, collaborative
educational programs and chiropractic care for the Institute’s athletes
and staff. Ultimately, the program is expected to expand to include
chiropractic care for private Cuban citizens.
Clay McDonald, president of Logan, announced the partnership Tuesday, following on the heels of a trip to formalize the arrangement.
“The
prospect of working closely with one of the world’s most highly
regarded sports institutes and bringing chiropractic care to Cuba’s
elite athletes and ultimately to their public is an incredible
opportunity for both of our students and faculty,” McDonald said in a
statement.
