Sports Medicine Center for Young Athletes
Children's Hospital Oakland's Sports Medicine Center for Young Athletes is a specially-designated facility dedicated to the care, treatment, and education of young athletes in the East Bay area. We have three facilities located in Oakland, Walnut Creek and San Ramon. Because growing bones and cartilage, unlike those of a skeletally-mature adult, are susceptible to injuries, young athletes should be managed differently than older athletes. That's why UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland developed a one-of-a-kind resource for sports injury care and prevention, offering young athletes the most current and comprehensive medical care and educational programming available. |
