Renewal as Official Hospital of the US Open and Official Medical Services Provider of the U.S. Billie Jean King Cup and Davis Cup Teams

NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mount Sinai Health System today announced a multi-year renewal of an exclusive partnership with the United States Tennis Association (USTA). The agreement will continue and expand Mount Sinai's roles through 2026 as Official Hospital, Health System, and Medical Services Provider of the US Open Tennis Championships and as Official Medical Services Provider of the U.S. Teams for the Billie Jean King Cup and Davis Cup events.

This year marks the 11th year of this medical and promotional collaboration, through which Mount Sinai, one of the largest academic medical systems in New York, has provided the highest level of health care to the world's elite athletes onsite at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York. The 2023 US Open begins Monday, August 28, and runs through Sunday, September 10.

"We are honored to bring our multidisciplinary team of medical experts together to provide outstanding comprehensive health care for all of the athletes for the 11th consecutive year," - Dr. Alexis Colvin, MD

Alexis Colvin, MD, Professor of Orthopedics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, continues her dual roles as Chief Medical Officer of the US Open and U.S. Billie Jean King Cup Team Physician. She is joined this year by Melissa Leber, MD, Associate Professor of Orthopedics, and Emergency Medicine, at Icahn Mount Sinai, who has been appointed Director of Player Medical Services of the US Open by the USTA. Drs. Colvin and Leber will lead a team of renowned orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, emergency medicine physicians, musculoskeletal radiologists, and other specialists from Mount Sinai. James Gladstone, MD, Chief of the Sports Medicine Service and Associate Professor of Orthopedics at Icahn Mount Sinai, continues as the official U.S. Davis Cup Team Physician, in addition to supporting the Player Medical Services team at the US Open.

"We are honored to bring our multidisciplinary team of medical experts together to provide outstanding comprehensive health care for all of the athletes for the 11th consecutive year," said Dr. Colvin. "I am proud to serve alongside Dr. Leber in her new role. It speaks volumes about the importance of diversity and inclusion in professional sports to have two women leading medical care at an internationally recognized sporting event. Along with the entire medical team from Mount Sinai, we bring years of sports medicine expertise grounded in innovative research to the tournament."

Dr. Colvin is the first Asian American and first woman to hold the title of Chief Medical Officer at the US Open, a role she has held for a decade. She is a board certified orthopedic and sports medicine surgeon who has served as a physician at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Center. She presides on the board of the Hologic WTA Women's Health Taskforce and also supports non-profit organizations dedicated to improving girls' participation in sports.

Dr. Leber is a registered musculoskeletal sonographer with many years of experience in diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound-guided procedures. This expertise makes her a leader in the field of sports medicine, helping her to achieve more targeted and effective results in returning athletes of all ages to their sport and activity. She has also worked as a physician, medical liaison, and consultant for professional basketball and football teams and leagues in the United States.

"I am thrilled to be the new Director of Player Medical Services for the US Open," said Dr. Leber. "Our team of health care experts who serve this tournament provide all US Open competitors with the highest-quality care, including the junior and wheelchair athletes. I look forward to working alongside Drs. Colvin and Gladstone to support professional tennis at this Grand Slam event."

"Mount Sinai has been an incredibly vital partner for more than 10 years, setting industry standards for player health care at the US Open," said Stacey Allaster, US Open Tournament Director and Chief Executive of Professional Tennis for the USTA. "Continuing this partnership strengthens our ability to deliver on our shared priorities. Together we provide best-in-class care and services for US Open players and our Billie Jean King and Davis Cup Teams, and we spread the message that tennis is an ideal sport for health and longevity."

In addition to providing medical services for the 2023 US Open, Mount Sinai will engage fans and families at an interactive booth onsite at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center throughout the tournament and Fan Week, at the Mount Sinai Children's Sports Zone court on Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, and via digital and social media, sweepstakes, giveaways, and photo experiences. Mount Sinai will also host two professional tennis players for special meet-and-greet appearances onsite, and will announce the talent, dates, and locations prior to both events. Mount Sinai will further showcase the Health System's commitment to diversity and inclusion through a vibrant new promotional campaign, "Serving All: Championing Advanced, Equitable Health Care."
