RMC welcomes new athletic trainer

Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) has brought on its new certified athletic trainer, Andrew Randall, to its newly-formed sports medicine team.

Randall will provide full-time athletic training coverage for Jamestown High School and Blue Jay varsity athletics. Services will include prevention of athletic injuries, advice to coaches to optimize performance and immediate care of athletic injuries.

He will also design and supervise rehabilitation programs for athletic injuries under the direction of a referring physician.

“I look forward to the opportunities to help athletes prevent injuries, provide insight to enhance performance and to be able to train athletes back into their competitive stage following an injury,” Randall said. “I am very fortunate to get the chance to engage with the athletes and the high school in the new partnership that has recently been created.”

A native of Steele, N.D., Randall graduated magna cum laude from Minnesota State University Moorhead, Moorhead, Minn. with an undergraduate degree in biology. He received a Master of Science degree in athletic training at Montana State University - Billings, Mont.

JRMC’s Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Department was recently named “The Official Sports Medicine Team for Blue Jay Athletics.” Through this partnership, JRMC and Jamestown Public Schools will work together to make sure the athletes receive proper training and care.

All athletes will have access to services at JRMC such as orthopedics and rehabilitation.
