Philadelphia, Pa. – The Philadelphia 76ers announced today that they have renewed their partnership with Main Line Health, who will continue to provide medical services to the team under the designation of official healthcare provider.
This is the fifth consecutive year that Main Line Health has served as a sponsor of the 76ers. As part of the organization's sponsorship and role as the official healthcare provider, doctors from all six Main Line Health hospitals will be highlighted throughout the season in a new 'Ask the Doc' feature, which allows fans to submit their health questions to be answered by a Main Line Health physician. These questions and answers will be shared in-arena, on the Sixers website, and during Sixers radio broadcasts on 97.5 FM. In addition, Main Line Health will continue to host "Go Red" night during the Sixers home game on February 1 to raise awareness for women's heart health.
“We are very fortunate to continue our partnership with Main Line Health, not only for the benefit of our players but for our entire staff, as well,” said Sixers president Rod Thorn. “The quality of care, attention and service of their doctors has been exemplary and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them as they address the needs and health of our athletes and employees.”
“We are very excited that the 76ers have, once again, reached out to Main Line Health as their preferred healthcare provider,” said Jack Lynch, President and CEO of Main Line Health. “We are proud that the team is turning to our expert physicians and hospitals to help meet their healthcare needs as they enter into another exciting season.”
In the event of injury or illness, Main Line Health physicians will provide comprehensive medical care for the Sixers throughout the season. This year’s team doctors will include: Dr. Jack McPhilemy, Medical Director and Team Orthopedist; Dr. David Rubenstein, Team Orthopedist; Dr. Daniel Lazowick, Team Internist; Dr. Domenic Baglivo, Team Dentist; Dr. Michael Grossman, Team Podiatric Surgeon; Dr. Joseph Maguire, Team Ophthalmologist; Dr. Frank McGeehin, Team Cardiologist; Dr. Lee Cohen, Podiatry Consultant.
