When FC Naples players take the field this season, they do so with a peace of mind knowing they are backed by orthopedic specialists from Physicians Regional Healthcare System.
Physicians Regional is collaborating with FC Naples, Collier County’s first professional sports team, to ensure the players remain healthy and are able to perform at their best.
Dr. Bryan Hanypsiak, an orthopedic surgeon with Physicians Regional Medical Group, serves as the team physician for FC Naples. He provides specialized care tailored to the unique demands of elite athletes, including diagnosing and treating acute injuries on and off the field.
Hanypsiak also works with trainers and additional medical staff to implement preventative care strategies, reducing the risk of future injuries and fostering long-term physical well-being.
“This partnership is a vital piece of our success on and off the field. Having a healthcare partner that supports our players and keeps them healthy allows us to get the most out of our team,” FC Naples Coach Matt Poland said. “I am excited that we will be working with such renowned physicians.”
This endeavor isn’t simply about keeping FC Naples healthy, though. Both the soccer team and Physicians Regional say they will utilize a larger platform to help promote health and wellness throughout the community.
“We’re excited to work with FC Naples, not only as their healthcare provider of choice, but as a community partner to help those in Naples and the surrounding areas live healthier lives,” said Scott Lowe, market chief executive officer, Physicians Regional Healthcare System.
While opportunities in the community are still being identified, Collier County’s youth is one audience that will benefit. Nearly two dozen local youth will have complimentary access to gameday events, and more exclusive events are being developed to help promote health and wellness.
“We are committed to promoting wellness, inspiring healthy lifestyles, and making a positive impact in our community. This partnership goes beyond soccer—together, we aim to build a stronger, healthier Naples and create a legacy of unity and well-being for our region,” said Bob Moreno, CEO of FC Naples.
