--UW Today, September 10, 2013

This week the newest UW Medicine Sports Medicine Center opened its doors to the community. The new location – and spacious 30,000 square foot facility – makes coming to appointments and treatment sessions more convenient for patients, because their doctors, surgeons, physical therapists, radiologists, and other sports medicine specialists are now gathered underneath the same roof.

“I’m extremely excited to work with this amazing group of physicians,” said Dr. Mark Harrast, medical director of the new center. “Our new location enables us to provide an even higher level of care using a collaborative, team-based approach.” Harrast is a UW clinical associate professor of rehabilitation medicine and of orthopedics and sports medicine.
