UK's Sports Medicine Research Institute Working On Ways To Keep Women Athletes In The Game

UK Now

Keeping Athletes healthy can sometimes be a challenge.  Injuries and unforeseen circumstances are almost a given in the daily life of these competitors.  But it’s not a one size fits all proposition, particularly for women athletes.  This week on Dr. Greg Davis On Medicine, we are taking a closer look at the Kentucky Active Women’s Health Initiative, a specialized program at the University of Kentucky specifically tasked with keeping women and girls in sports engaged and healthy.

Dr. Greg recently spoke with Dr. Dee Dlugonski about the AWHI, it’s one of four major research areas housed at the UK Sports Medicine Research Institute.

Dr. Greg Davis is a forensic pathologist with UK HealthCare. Every week, Davis speaks with local health providers, professionals, and researchers on Dr. Greg Davis on Medicine.
