Columbus Blue Jackets

OhioHealth has been the Official Healthcare Provider for the Columbus Blue Jackets since their inaugural season in 2000. One of our physicians is at every game to consult and give first diagnosis of any injuries that occur. The OhioHealth lineup of team doctors is: Joseph Ruane, DO, Jason Dapore, DO, Mark J. Triffon, MD, and Larry Watson, MD. The assistant athletic trainer for the team is OhioHealth’s Mark Teeples, AT.

Hockey is a very demanding sport that can lead to concussions, broken bones, strained muscles and much more. We offer our expertise and time to keep our Blue Jackets out on the ice where they belong.

Columbus Crew

OhioHealth has been the Official Healthcare Provider for the Columbus Crew since 1997, right after their inaugural season. One of our physicians is at every game to offer on-the-spot diagnosis for injuries and strains. The OhioHealth team doctors for the Crew are: Peter Edwards, Jr., MD, and Scott Van Steyn, MD. Additional team doctors are: Roger Wilt, MD, and Scott Johnson, MD. The head athletic trainer is Dave Lagow, AT, and the assistant athletic trainer is Phil Watson, AT.

Soccer is a very physical game that requires speed, strength and agility. Because of sudden changes in direction, it is very hard on the ACL of the knee joint. Other common injuries are: concussions, Achilles tendon ruptures, shin splints, hernias, bone fractures and breaks, and more. Our physicians are there to keep our Crew members strong and on the pitch.
