U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Medical Network Expands Partnership with UCHealth

The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee has announced that five UCHealth hospitals and clinics in southern Colorado, along with 100 clinics in the region, will serve as a national medical center for athletes who live and train in Colorado Springs.

UCHealth’s Memorial Hospital Central is adjacent to the Olympic & Paralympic Training Center, where roughly 15,000 athletes train each year. It is now recognized as one of four national medical centers within the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Medical Network, joining Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles; UF Health in Gainesville, Florida, and The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado.

“The USOPC strives to deliver world-class, comprehensive health care to Team USA athletes, which wouldn’t be possible without the support, dedication and expertise of our U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Medical Network partners,” said Dr. Jonathan Finnoff, USOPC chief medical officer. “The continuation of our partnership with UCHealth makes perfect sense. For more than 15 years, UCHealth has been more than just a neighbor — they’ve been a trusted partner, standing alongside us in supporting and championing Team USA athletes.”

UCHealth’s southern Colorado hospitals and clinics will provide athletes with care to include preventive services, acute and chronic illnesses and sports injuries. UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central has the resources to provide the highest level of care to critically ill or injured patients as the only Level I Trauma Center in southern Colorado,

“UCHealth is proud to be among a select group of health care organizations nationally providing the highest quality care for athletes seeking to represent the United States in international competitions,” said Lonnie Cramer, president and CEO of UCHealth’s southern Colorado region. “We look forward to cheering on Team USA in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, which are just 275 days away, and helping to ensure our country’s athletes have access to top specialists and the best health care available.”
