OMAHA, Neb.—Just in time for football season, young athletes in the Omaha area will again have access to medical care—free of charge, if necessary—to address sports injuries.
The Nebraska Orthopaedic Hospital in Omaha will be providing free injury evaluations and treatment at their Friday Night Sports Injury Clinic. The clinic opens this Friday and runs through Oct. 30. It’s open every Friday from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. to accommodate athletes after Friday night high school football games.
Junior high, high school and collegiate athletes will be able to visit an orthopaedic physician and physical therapist to assess injuries or pain for no cost for those who have no means to pay. Casting, x-ray and bracing are also available to athletes at no cost.
