Rochester General Health System
Rochester General Official Sponsor of the Medical Tent for Annual MVP Health Care Rochester Marathon
(09/28/09)
On Sunday September 13th, Rochester General Hospital was the official sponsor of the medical support tent for the 5th annual MVP Health Care Rochester Marathon. Three thousands runners competed in the ½ and full marathon distances. Under medical director Dr. Douglas Jones (allergy and rheumatology), a staff of 17 MD’s, 14 RN’s and 7 support staff were there to treat runners who needed aid at the end of this often challenging endurance race. Runners were seen for heat related injury, dehydration, electrolyte problems, cardiac concerns, exercise induced asthma, blisters, scrapes, bee stings, sprains, cramps and strains. Over 80 competitors were treated, however, none needed to be transferred to the hospital. We appreciated the opportunity to be part of this outstanding community event and look forward to next year’s race.
