Congratulations to Colin Doyle of Plum High School for being the 11th recipient of the John H. Lindblad Memorial Award. We established this award in 1998 in memory of Dr. Lindblad, who unselfishly dedicated himself to the student-athletes at Plum and who was instrumental in developing the team physician - athletic trainer model for sports medicine care that is still working today!

Colin played football and ran track for Plum HS. He will be attending Slippery Rock University in the fall majoring in Exercise Science, and he has aspirations to go on to graduate school in physical therapy. His career decisions have been influenced by his experience with Matt Gatesman, MPT who guided Colin through a rigorous rehabilitation program after shoulder surgery. Congratulations, Colin, and best wishes for continued success.

Colin is pictured below receiving the award from Ryan Kesterholt, ATC, an employee of ESSMC and the Head Athletic Trainer at Plum HS.
