The St. John's University Sports Medicine program, under the
direction of Head Athletic Trainer Ron Linfonte, A.T.C., is
dedicated to ensuring the health and well-being of all student
athletes at St. John's. Today, over 450 of these intercollegiate
athletes (representing 22 athletic teams, both male and female)
often require around-the-clock medical assistance and support.
Accordingly, St. John's offers:
- Daily injury and illness clinics that give athletes immediate
access to medical attention
- Radiological and laboratory services – located close to campus
– to help expedite injury diagnosis
- Integration of the medical, strength and conditioning, and
training staffs to smooth the transition from injury to
competition
Our medical affiliations afford highest quality care for our
student athletes. For example:
- University orthopedic consultants are associated with The
Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan
- Our team internists are associated with Pro Health Care
Associates, located in Lake Success, NY
- We have top medical professionals in the fields of dentistry,
podiatry, physical therapy, ophthalmology, internal medicine and
plastic surgery on call for our athletes
- We utilize our on-campus Health Services and Psychology
Counseling Services to provide auxiliary care for any athlete
requiring specialized service.
