In the realm of primary care, the marriage of sports medicine and healthcare creates a powerful alliance that goes beyond the athletic field. As an integral part of comprehensive healthcare, sports medicine in primary care not only addresses the unique needs of athletes but also promotes overall wellness, preventive care and swift recovery for individuals of all ages.

Mary Mitchell, DO, insists that she has the best job. Dr. Mitchell is an associate professor in the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½-Virginia’s Department of Family Medicine, but she’s also part of ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½â€™s nationally recognized sports medicine program, which provides medical care to Virginia Tech’s sports teams. Dr. Mitchell has the privilege of being the team physician for the Virginia Tech women’s basketball team, which had a truly remarkable season, winning the ACC Tournament title and reaching the final four of the NCAA Tournament before being eliminated by eventual champion Louisiana State University. For good reason, Blacksburg has been all-in on this team and for Dr. Mitchell, this season has been a highlight of her career.
