The Chicago Red Stars recently announced its official partnerships with Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush and NovaCare, to handle the team's physical therapy, athletic training and medical needs.
Sports medicine physician, Joshua Blomgren, D.O., steps in as the official team physician. A former college soccer player and graduate of Benedictine University, Dr. Blomgren was noted as being an easy fit for the team, for both the players and due to his comfort in the environment. When asked about his reaction, "I am excited to be a part of the Chicago Red Stars Family. The elite athletes on the team will receive the highest level of sports medicine care and we wish the Red Stars good luck over the 2012 Season."
