We are here to help you achieve your highest potential
Relevé Sports Medicine is trying their best to help out the local emergency rooms, along with the community, by providing expert orthopedic care on an urgent walk-in basis. We understand that some hospitals are at maximum capacity and have been cancelling surgeries to maintain their ability to care for surges in patient volumes. We are making every accommodation to be available for same-day emergencies that require immediate care.
At Relevé Sports Medicine, patients will receive immediate access to board-certified sports medicine physicians for their urgent care needs.
“We want our medical partners at the local hospitals to be able to focus on their sickest patients with COVID-19, heart attacks, and strokes, and not over burden the hospital system with urgent orthopedic needs,” said Dr. Michelle Henne, a sports medicine physician at Relevé Sports Medicine. “Our office has the infrastructure, experienced staff and equipment to help patients suffering from orthopedic injuries and issues.”
Before the recent COVID-19 outbreak, when someone had a broken bone, sprain, fracture, back or neck pain the emergency room would have been on the top of their list. However, in today’s environment people are trying to avoid going to hospitals in order to eliminate the risk of exposure.

“With more adults and children returning to school and sports or remaining at home in self-isolation, we expect that there will be a surge of injuries that will require urgent care. We don’t want people to rush to already busy emergency rooms or worse for people to avoid seeking medical attention at all,” said Dr. Henne. “We hope by increasing our availability with more access to care and more available scheduling options, this will enable ER physicians to focus their efforts on critical care, while we treat patients in need of orthopedic expertise.”
