Community Partnerships

We’ve been serving our community since 1939

We take great pride in being integral partners with a variety of organizations and groups across Eugene and Springfield. In addition to being the official sports medicine team physicians for University of Oregon Athletics since 1967, we are also proud sponsors of prominent arts organizations in the community.

Eugene Ballet

The Official Team Doctors of Eugene Ballet

We are proud to support the development of our community through arts activities, which is why we are the official team doctors of Eugene Ballet. In operation since 1978, Eugene Ballet has become one of the West Coast’s premier professional dance companies. They have performed in over 100 cities in 32 states along with performances in Canada, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Syria, Jordan, Tunisia, and Taiwan. Eugene Ballet offers many educational programs to help our community grow, including master classes, residencies, and other accessible programs for audiences of all ages. The company is regularly recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts with dance company awards, and they were the first Oregon dance company to receive the Governor’s Arts Award in 1996.

Eugene Symphony

Sharing the Joy of Music with Kids

As sponsors of the Eugene Symphony’s Symphony Kids program since 2009, we support enrichment in our community through youth activities and the arts. Our mission through this partnership is to provide children with access to music education and encourage participation in music programs. The Eugene Symphony offers a variety of programs for our local youth, including Link Up, Youth Concerts, EYMA (Encouraging Young Musicians to Achieve), and Young Artist Competitions. In addition to providing access to music programs, the Eugene Symphony also helps students who are trying to advance their musical talents by continuing their education through artist residencies and the Laura Avery Visiting Masters classes.
