"Team HEAL has been instrumental in supporting the health, well-being, and future of Los Angeles-area high school student-athletes," said Clarence L. Shields Jr., M.D., founder of Team HEAL. "Our annual Jazz Luncheon is a testament to the incredible work being done and the positive impact we have on the lives of young athletes."
Since its inception in 1994, Team HEAL has focused on aiding young athletes from underserved communities by providing medical care, scholarships, and grant funding to improve sports facilities. The program's mission of "Helping Enrich Athletes' Lives" has led to over 80 scholarships being awarded to date, helping student-athletes pursue higher education and achieve their dreams.
As African Americans comprise only 1.5% of orthopedic surgeons in the United States, Dr. Shields has made significant strides in increasing access to quality orthopedic care for young athletes in underserved communities. This commitment is crucial given that approximately 2 million high school athletes in the U.S. experience sports-related injuries each year, highlighting the vital need for specialized medical care and support.
