Community Sports Institute

Where Medical Science Meets the Art of Caring.

The Terrebonne General Health System Community Sports Institute was created to impact future generations by promoting healthcare education and disease prevention, along with athletic injury prevention and post-care. The team works with the local school system beginning at elementary-age throughout high school levels, to teach health education and promote healthy habits. The Community Sports Institute and our athletic trainers have been recognized by the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce for volunteer contributions and services to the Terrebonne Parish community.

This program will support teachers in educating students on healthy strategies, allowing them to gain exposure to healthcare experts while supporting the coaches and athletes in medical assistance and proper techniques to prevent injuries while on the field. This partnership is also inclusive of elementary and junior high schools.
