Hello all,
At Zona Athletic Health, we believe that every athlete deserves access to the equipment and healthcare resources necessary to keep them safe. Unfortunately, not every athletic program has the resources to purchase the emergency equipment they need.
We are excited to announce a new grant opportunity for Arizona athletic programs to request an emergency cold tank or spine board, made possible through a generous corporate donation to Zona Athletic Health.
A cold tank provides athletic programs with an important emergency tool for managing exertional heat illnesses. Plus, it can serve as a great recovery tool for athletes.
A spineboard is an essential piece of emergency equipment to immobilize athletes for transportation when there is a suspected spinal injury.
While we do not wish any injuries or illnesses to our athletes, it is important we are prepared for emergency situations. Having these resources available can help athletic programs and athletic healthcare professionals be prepared to respond to emergencies.
Through the generosity of our corporate partners, Zona is able to extend these resources to underserved and under-resourced athletic programs across Arizona. This support represents exactly what we hope to accomplish through Zona Athletic Health: bringing together organizations and multidisciplinary professionals who believe in athlete health and turning that support into tangible resources for the communities that need them.
If your athletic program needs a cold tank or a spine board, we encourage you to submit an inquiry. This can be done by using the "Contact Us" button at the bottom of our website, and we will follow up via email. We are excited to help put these resources directly into the hands of athletic programs.
This is grassroots athletic healthcare in action! Working together to make Arizona athletics safer, one donation, one professional, and one program at a time!
