At EmergeOrtho-Triangle Region, our commitment to enhancing health and well-being extends beyond our medical offices. We are thrilled to announce a partnership with North Carolina Football Club. As the new official team physicians and front-of-kit partner, we are honored to make an impactful difference on and off the field. This partnership is a testament to our shared goal of fostering a healthier and more vibrant community.
A Partnership Grounded in Shared Values
Our collaboration with North Carolina FC is not just a typical sponsorship; it is a partnership founded on mutual dedication to community well-being and excellence in sports. This multiyear agreement will see EmergeOrtho provide comprehensive medical coverage to North Carolina FC players, coaches, staff, and North Carolina Courage, the NWSL affiliate. This includes being the official team physician, orthopedic urgent care provider, physical therapy provider, and official orthopedic provider of NCFC. This partnership ensures the team’s health and performance and strengthens our commitment to the community.
“This marks a significant milestone for our organization as we embark on a promising partnership with EmergeOrtho,” said North Carolina FC Chief Operating Officer Ralph Vuono. “This collaboration is grounded in a shared commitment to enhancing the well-being of our players and the broader community. EmergeOrtho brings invaluable expertise to prioritize our players’ health, ensuring they receive top-tier medical care. This partnership fosters deep connections that contribute to the growth and vitality of the Triangle area.
