Orlando Orthopaedic Center Partners With Lake Nona Youth Sports

Orlando Orthopaedic Center has partnered with Lake Nona Youth Sports to support the league’s young athletes, coaches, and families. When a player gets hurt at practice or a game, families now have a sports medicine team they already know, right in the neighborhood at our Lake Nona office.

For parents, that’s one less thing to figure out in a stressful moment. Instead of searching for a specialist or driving across town, they have direct access to the official sports medicine providers of LNYS.

Lake Nona Youth Sports Football Director Chastston Williams says a medical partner nearby gives families real peace of mind. He pointed to a recent AAU football game where a young player broke a shinbone. Moments like that are exactly when parents need to know who to call.

It’s not a rare injury, either. The shinbone is the most commonly broken long bone in the body, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. And because kids’ bones are still growing, their injuries can look and heal differently than an adult’s. Seeing a doctor who treats young athletes every day helps families get clear answers about what happened and what comes next.

Williams sums up the partnership with a motto the community already knows: “one community, one Nona.” Andy Reber, Sports Medicine and Community Marketing Manager at Orlando Orthopaedic Center, agrees.

“One Community. One Nona. One Team. Orlando Orthopaedic Center is proud to partner with Lake Nona Youth Sports to keep our athletes healthy, active, and doing what they love.”
