We Ensure Athletes Receive Quality Care, Regardless of Their Financial Situation
The Pursuit Foundation is a nonprofit that helps athletes without financial means get the best care from the best doctors and providers, removing financial barriers.
Are you facing financial challenges?
Orthopedic advancements have significantly reduced recovery times for sports-related injuries like ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and ligament sprains. Unfortunately, athletes often don't have access to the most updated technology and procedures.
Outdated Treatment Methods
Without the guidance of a medical agent, athletes often end up with surgeons who use outdated treatment methods.
Out-of-pocket Costs
High deductibles and co-pays lead to unaffordable out-of-pocket costs for surgery and physical therapy.
Limited Insurance Coverage
Insurance providers often limit physical therapy appointments, limiting the athlete’s ability to regain 100% strength.
