UConn Health’s Dr. Katherine Coyner, an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine expert, has been named the new head team orthopedic surgeon; sports medicine specialist Dr. Matthew Hall will be the team’s primary care provider; and concussion expert Dr. Anthony Alessi, who directs the UConn Neurosport Program, will serve as the team’s consulting neurologist.
The physicians will provide care for the players on and off the court, including at every WNBA Connecticut Sun home game at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville.
The physicians are faculty of UConn Health Orthopedics & Sports Medicine and are among UConn Health sports medicine doctors caring for many professional athletes and more than 700 UConn student-athletes with UConn Athletics.
