Rio Grande Valley – The UTRGV Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and UT Health RGV are partnering to keep the university’s student-athletes in the game.

UT Health RGV is now the official and exclusive healthcare provider for UTRGV Athletics, as part of a formal partnership designed to provide quality, comprehensive care, and education to student-athletes throughout their time at the university.

UTRGV student-athletes have access to UT Health RGV’s sports medicine team physicians and orthopedic surgeons, as well as to specialists in primary care, mental health, women’s health, psychiatry and neurology, ear, nose & throat, plastic surgery, and nutrition.
