The University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) Athletics is seeking proposals from qualified healthcare providers to serve as the official healthcare partner and primary service provider for medical services associated with its intercollegiate sports and athletic training programs. The purpose of this RFP is to promote prompt medical attention, high-quality, affordable care, and continuity of care to UNCW student-athletes. UNCW believes that contracting with a designated Provider as the sports medicine services Provider to UNCW Athletics, as outlined in this RFP, will help advance those goals. UNCW is committed to our student-athletes’ safety and health and believes it can accomplish this commitment by providing a dedicated health care team of proper certification and medical authority to ensure injury prevention, immediate attention at the time of injury, and injury recovery. Additionally, UNCW desires the selected Provider to render specialized medical care in the prevention, recognition, evaluation, and rehabilitation of students choosing to participate in University- sponsored auxiliary units (including University marching band members, UNCW club sports participants, and Spirit Program athletes). It is important to UNCW that a similar commitment is made to the health and well-being of these students.
