Empowering Excellence in Women: San Diego Mojo Unites with Scripps Health for a Winning Partnership
SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Mojo, the city’s newest professional sports team, proudly announces it has entered into an in-kind agreement for Scripps Clinic to serve as the team’s official healthcare partner.
Under the agreement, Scripps Clinic will provide a range of medical services to the team’s athletes. A Scripps Clinic physician will attend all of the Mojo’s regular season and postseason home matches at Viejas Arena to care for Mojo players. Dr. Laika Nur, a sports medicine specialist with Scripps Clinic, will serve as head team physician and will collaborate with an extended team of Scripps Clinic physicians who will be available for medical consultations in a broad range of medical specialty areas.
In return, Scripps Clinic will receive opportunities to educate the community about health and wellness through articles, arena signage and various digital platforms.
“The Mojo would be nothing without the community of San Diego and our athletes,” said Billy Johnson, Mojo president. “We are committed to the health and well-being of our athletes and are excited to have a leading medical group like Scripps Clinic on our side.”
U.S. News & World Report ranked Scripps’ orthopedics program No. 1 in the San Diego region in its most recent “Best Hospitals” list, and No. 16 nationally.
