TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY

Sarah believes in the power of rehabilitation and focusing on what  patients can do rather than on their limitations. She looks at the individual as a whole person, rather than just looking at the injury. She often tells her athletes, “Tape is temporary; rehabilitation is forever.”

BIOGRAPHY

Sarah is a certified athletic trainer who joined Hillsboro Medical Center in 2019. Sarah is interested in outpatient orthopedics with a focus on the prevention of sports medicine related injuries and aquatic therapy.

Sports have always been a passion of hers. After spending a lot of time with her athletic trainer in college while playing fast-pitch softball, she chose to pursue athletic training.

Sarah strives to create an environment of trust and belonging with her patients, while working to get them back to the playing field.

Outside of work you can find her spending time with her cats, reading, hiking and planning her next international adventure.
