Lakers Legends Michael Cooper And Robert Horry Talk Advancing Health Equity Through Athletics At Arab Health
(MENAFN- Mid-East Info)
Reflecting on the importance of medical care during his career, Horry said:“I was very blessed because, in the 16 seasons I played, I only got injured twice. The first time, a player fell on me, and I strained my medial collateral ligament. The injury happened on a Friday, and I was already getting rehab by Monday. I walked into rehabilitation on crutches, and they told me to lose the crutches. “As an athlete, you put your trust in the doctors and physical therapists to get you back out there, and I think about that moment often-how they got me back to playing. It wasn't just about getting me back on the court; they taught me little things to ensure I never needed to see them again. After that, I never experienced anything physical that stopped me from playing because I was given preventative measures to take care of myself.” UCLA Health has been a leader in healthcare innovation for over 60 years and is consistently ranked among the best in the US. Through its International Services division, it has extended its expertise to over 130 countries, forging relationships that make world-class care accessible to diverse communities. Michael Burke, UCLA Health's Chief of International and Business Development Services, said:“The partnership with the Lakers is very important for UCLA Health. We are not just about sports medicine – a lot happens between the Lakers, UCLA Health, the community, and now the global community. Over the past year, we expanded our relationship beyond the US. This partnership is all about treating our players but also about bringing the level of care we provide to the Lakers to the broader global community.” While the Lakers and UCLA Health Experience has drawn to a close, Arab Health's 50th-anniversary edition continues at the Dubai World Trade Centre until Thursday, 30 January 2025. The event, which connects over 3,800 exhibitors and 60,000+ attendees from 70+ countries, remains a global platform for healthcare innovation, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing.
