OrthoCarolina believes in sports and the many benefits they provide for kids. That's why we partner with Public School Districts across the Carolinas - to do what we can to help sustain them!  

For more than 10 years, OrthoCarolina has partnered with National Amateur Sports (NAS) and Public School athletic programs.  We are proud that our partnership has provided meaningful funding to help sustain middle and high school sports as well as enable new technologies like Automated Live Streaming cameras and a new Digital Platform to promote athletics.  

OrthoCarolina is excited to support our local communities and values the many connections we have made through symposiums, informational webinars, e-mails with helpful tips, injury clinics, and more!  

We love sports – let’s enjoy them together!

"OrthoCarolina is deeply involved in the communities it serves and is dedicated to supporting youth sports across our footprint. We promote active, healthy lifestyles for young athletes through school partnerships, building a foundation for lifelong well-being and ensuring accessible, patient-focused care.”
