SANFORD – Southern Maine Health Care is hosting an open house at its new Sports Performance Center at the Sanford Springvale YMCA off River Street on Thursday.
The public is invited to tour the facility, meet the staff and talk with athletes already receiving training at the SPC.
SMHC organizers will be raffling off two photographs autographed by New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, three athletic evaluations with six training sessions along with athletic wear.
Light refreshments will be served at the 4 to 6 p.m. event.
SMHC opened its first Sports Performance Center in Saco in November 2014. It provides all of the athletic training for Sanford High School, Massabesic High School, Biddeford High School, Old Orchard Beach High School and Thornton Academy.
It also offers a comprehensive concussion management program through the Sports Performance Centers, including: baseline neurocognitive testing of student athletes using ImPACT™, post assessment and cognitive testing for concussions, and full rehabilitation services in conjunction with SMHC neurologists and primary care physicians.
The SMHC Sports Performance Center in Sanford is open Monday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
