Lake Charles Memorial Health System Becomes Official Sports Medicine Partner of McNeese Athletics

Lake Charles Memorial Health System President & CEO, Devon Hyde, and McNeese Director of Athletics, Heath Schroyer, are proud to announce the official partnership with Lake Charles Memorial Health System and McNeese State University Athletics. LCMHS’s pledge of $2.5 million to McNeese Athletics, over the next three years, makes history as one of McNeese Athletics’ largest investments to date.

This partnership will place a focus on student-athletes’ health both on and off the field through Memorial’s Sports Medicine team of athletic trainers and physicians, ultimately, reflecting Memorial’s dedication to providing quality healthcare for the southwest Louisiana community.

“As the area’s largest and most comprehensive healthcare system, we look forward to continuing our tradition of providing quality healthcare close to home,” says Hyde. “And there’s nothing that feels more like home to SWLA than McNeese State University. This exclusive agreement and partnership give us the opportunity to create a positive, healthy, athletic experience for the student-athletes while promoting health and wellness for all.”

“The care and professionalism that our student-athletes will receive because of this partnership will be second to none,” says Schroyer. “The health and wellbeing of our student-athletes has been my number one objective since becoming the AD a few years ago, and this partnership solidifies that objective. I couldn’t be prouder to partner with this amazing healthcare system.”
