Sports medicine, women's sports medicine physician, Dr. Kathleen Weber is now entering her fifth year as team physician for the Chicago Force Women's Tackle Football team.

Linda, who also plays for the team, went on to say, "We're extremely fortunate to have the medical care that Dr. Weber and the MOR staff have provided. Football is a physical and punishing sport. Our medical staff provides us with the critical support that is necessary for our athletes to compete at the highest level possible. MOR is an important part of our team."
