“As members of the panel, we will volunteer at events such as the Georgia Junior Olympics and be on the list of preferred medical providers for the athletes,” Dr. Traub said.

Dr. Kay Kirkpatrick, co-president of Resurgens, said she welcomes Dr. Traub’s involvement in Georgia track and field events and is pleased that the practice can help promote safety in athletic competition.
