May 1, 2023 – Henry Schein Medical and the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society (PFATS) recently teamed up to help rebuild and enhance the athletic training clinic at Thomas Jefferson High School, part of the Dallas Independent School District, which was devastated by a tornado in October 2019.
Each year, Henry Schein Medical’s Athletics and Schools team sponsors the Tim Davey Assistant Athletic Trainer of the Year award presented by PFATS. The 2022 recipient, Greg Gaither, Assistant Athletic Trainer for the Dallas Cowboys, chose to aid in the rebuilding efforts of the athletic training clinic at Thomas Jefferson High School, his alma mater. Together, Henry Schein Medical Athletics and Schools and PFATS donated essential athletic training supplies and modalities, such as compression devices and muscle massagers, to help furnish the school with the proper equipment needed to provide exceptional care for athletes.
Thomas Jefferson High School reopened in January 2023 with its upgraded athletic training clinic. In addition to its donation, Henry Schein helped design the clinic, procure furniture and exercise equipment, and set up the facility.
Henry Schein Medical’s Athletics and Schools business has sponsored the Tim Davey Assistant Athletic Trainer of the Year award since 2011. The award recognizes the commitment, dedication, and integrity of one trainer from each of the two conferences in the professional football league. The 2023 award winners were Marco Zucconi, Associate Athletic Trainer for the Los Angeles Chargers, and Nate Weir, Associate Athletic Trainer and Director of Rehab & Return to Play for the Green Bay Packers.
