Due to the lack of qualified personnel Geisinger will be unable to contract athletic trainer services with the Juniata County School District. The athletic administration has reached out to 6 other athletic trainer providers but they too report insufficient qualified personnel to fulfill our training needs. Apparently this is not a unique situation as 3 other schools in the Tri-Valley League are currently without trainer services. As we continue to search for a provider, our local EMS and ambulance services have been notified of the situation and will do their best to be present at most varsity events. Geisinger will continue to support Juniata County Athletics by providing coaches with technical preventative information and the necessary team doctor for varsity football events. All providers have assured us that in the event they have personnel to serve our training needs they will reach out to the district.
