Rothman Orthopaedics is proud to announce the renewal of its partnership with Drexel University on a multi-year agreement, continuing its role as the Official Orthopedic Partner of Drexel Athletics.

As part of the continued relationship, formed in 2022, Rothman will maintain oversight of the on-site clinic for student-athletes and remain committed to delivering world-class orthopedic care. The renewed partnership reflects a shared dedication to supporting the health and performance of Drexel’s athletic community.

“Drexel University is a cornerstone in this region, and we are thrilled to continue this partnership,” said Alexander R. Vaccaro, MD, PhD, MBA, President of Rothman Orthopaedics; Richard H. Rothman Professor and Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedics; and Professor of Neurosurgery at Thomas Jefferson University and Hospitals. “As physicians, we take pride in caring for athletes at all levels—especially student-athletes—and look forward to continuing to educate and treat them with the best possible orthopedic care.”

“Rothman Orthopaedics has provided an unmatched care model and has prioritized the development of relationships with our student-athletes, professional staff and administration,” Vice President, Director of Athletics & Recreation Maisha Kelly said. “Rothman understands the value of a true partnership, and we are appreciative of the commitment to Drexel that extends beyond the traditional scope of work. The well-being of our student-athletes continues to be our top priority, and Rothman’s excellent physicians and surgeons provide an avenue for our Dragons to be their healthiest selves.”

As part of the agreement, Rothman Orthopaedics will receive prominent visibility across Drexel Athletics platforms, including digital, broadcast, and multimedia channels, as well as recreational and intramural programs. Rothman branding will also be featured in-venue on Drexel’s state-of-the-art video board during men’s and women’s basketball events.
