Just like you, we want kids and teens to have the support they need to live healthy lives. And caring for them doesn’t begin in the health care setting. It starts with prevention. From concussion care to school and sports physicals, OSF HealthCare prides itself on its programs to protect and care for the youth of LaSalle County.

Concussion Care
Educating students on how to identify and prevent concussions
A concussion is an injury to the brain caused by a blow to the head, or by striking the head on another object.
Education about how to prevent and detect concussion was offered last year at OSF HealthCare Center for Health – Streator to parents of the youth sports community.
More information about identifying symptoms can be found in this video.
In 2017, Drs. Tariq Khan and Ryan Tremb - OSF HealthCare primary care providers in Streator and Ottawa - completed special training offered by Jenna Ford, APN, with OSF HealthCare Illinois Neurological Institute.
Specializing in the treatment of concussions in children and teenagers, Jenna (shown in the accompanying video) offered the providers instruction on how to properly care for athletes with concussions. Drs. Khan and Tremb work with OSF athletic trainers to treat and support athletes with concussions before they return to play.
Emergency Training
Training students and staff to be ready for emergencies
The Ottawa Township High School (OTHS) faculty and staff have been diligent in creating a thorough event-readiness model, enhancing their efforts with local municipalities.
OSF HealthCare partnered with OTHS in the summer of 2017 to help a member of the athletic department become certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) instruction. That athletic trainer was then able to train other faculty internally.
BLS instruction covers:
- Scene safety and assessment
- AED operation
- CPR
- Airway management
- First aid methods
OSF HealthCare continues to look for opportunities to partner with OTHS and other schools for enhanced readiness within the community.
Orthopedic Providers
Providing convenient access to quality providers
OSF HealthCare has three orthopedic locations throughout LaSalle County for your convenience. From complex fractures to sports medicine, our expert providers offer comprehensive, compassionate care for all of your students’ orthopedic needs.
Student athletes who acquire a weekend injury can gain quick access the following Monday or Tuesday for a follow-up exam with one of our orthopedic providers. Our OSF athletic trainers coordinate care with their team to create an individualized treatment plan for your athlete according to the severity and type of injury.

Physicals
Protecting area youth and giving back to the community
For the past two years, OSF HealthCare has provided sports physicals to area students. A fee of $25 per physical is collected, and the money is donated back to the respective school’s Booster Club or Athletic Department.
In 2017, OSF HealthCare donated $1,725 to Ottawa Township High School and $1,275 to Streator Township High School. A total of 120 students took advantage of the walk-in clinics.
A sports physical includes:
- Height/weight check
- Vital signs
- Eye exam
- Physical exam by an OSF HealthCare provider
Please note: sports physicals do not meet the requirements for a school physical. Parents should contact their child’s OSF HealthCare primary care provider to schedule a school physical if immunization records are required.

OSF Healthy Joints
The OSF Healthy Joints program is a collaborative effort between physical therapy, the Center for Healthy Lifestyles, Behavioral Health and the Weight Management Center of OSF St. Joseph.
-
The goal of Healthy Joints is to help you optimize your health and lower your weight to preserve your joint or reduce the risk of complications that may occur when you undergo joint replacement surgery.
-
The program is specifically designed for people whose weight is impacting their joint pain and increasing surgical risks.
-
To learn more about the OSF Healthy Cells program, call (309) 661-5151.
-
Joint Class
-
Patients planning knee and hip joint replacement surgery are asked to attend Joint Class before surgery.
-
The class provides an opportunity to learn about exercises to prepare the body, improving health to prevent complications and to connect with others preparing for the same surgery.
-
While in the hospital, therapy exercises are conducted in a group setting twice a day, and as a result, you benefit from the support and encouragement of others.
