University Hospitals

UH Sports Medicine connection with Grand Valley High School Athletes

University Hospitals is Grand Valley High School's official healthcare provider, dedicated to addressing all medical needs of GVHS athletes.

If a Grand Valley athlete requires an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Leland, our Orthopedic Sports Medicine specialist, can see them within 24 hours (to schedule an appointment, please call 440-285-5004).

For those needing to see a medical doctor, Dr. Ervine, Grand Valley's Primary Care Physician, will provide immediate care (appointments: 440-632-0408).

It's essential to keep Grand Valley's athletic trainer, Denise Fisher, informed about any injuries, especially those related to sports. Denise can assist in scheduling appointments with Dr. Leland and Dr. Ervine, evaluate and treat injuries, and coordinate immediate follow-ups.

Additionally, if you visit the emergency room, please notify Denise so she can arrange a follow-up so you can see Dr. Leland or Dr. Ervine as soon as possible.
