Mayo Clinic and Athletes’ Performance have signed a letter of intent to collaborate in the advancement of proactive health and sports performance through research and development, integrated performance solutions, advanced diagnostics, access to leading specialists and the complete continuum of quality health and sports medicine care.

Athletes’ Performance will begin collaborating with Mayo Clinic physicians in Arizona this summer to serve patients who have experienced a concussion or other sports-related injury. According to a press release, Athletes’ Performance clients will have access to experts across Mayo Clinic, including the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center and specialty areas such as orthopedics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, internal medicine, cardiology, neurology, neuropsychology and psychiatry.

In 2014, Athletes’ Performance’s team of performance specialists will deliver human performance programs in Mayo Clinic’s recently announced Sports Medicine Center expansion in Rochester, Minn. The two organizations also plan to initiate collaborative research projects and educational campaigns around health and wellness, performance training and the prevention and treatment of concussion and other sports-related injuries.

“We are excited about the potential of this relationship,” David Dodick, MD, neurologist and director of Mayo Clinic in Arizona’s Comprehensive Concussion Program, stated in the release. “This represents two organizations with a shared vision coming together to provide comprehensive health and wellness services to ensure that Mayo patients and Athletes’ Performance client achieve their optimal health and performance goals.”
