University of Louisville Athletics Joins Athletes OnBalance Leadership Council
Our Athletes OnBalance Leadership Council is proud to welcome our newest member, the University of Louisville’s athletics department. We are excited to work with Louisville’s Health and Performance team as they take the next step in their holistic and integrated healthcare of Louisville’s student-athletes. They "walk the talk" as they say, in using data to intersect physical, mental, and behavioral health for optimizing athletic performance.
“At Louisville Athletics, we pride ourselves on being leaders in the industry, not only in performance but in how we support our student-athletes holistically,” said Dr. Pat Ivey, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Health and Performance at the University of Louisville. “This partnership with OnBalance provides our care teams with the intelligence they need to deliver first class care to our athletes. It also reinforces our commitment to their mental health and wellbeing, ensuring they excel both on and off the field.”
The Leadership Council’s mission is to provide mental healthcare management teams and the eco-system of patient care, measurable care metrics from AI intelligence through the OnBalance platform, resulting in improved care outcomes.
Dr. Ginger Gilmore, the former Assistant Athletic Director, Behavioral Health and Wellness, at University of Alabama, and now Chief Mental Health Officer atOnBalance will lead the Athletes OnBalance Leadership Council. Dr. Gilmore’s work at Alabama was transformative in building one the leading behavioral health programs in the NCAA, working closely with Nick Saban’s football program before expanded mental health resources to all athletic teams.
Disruption to improve outcomes in every industry, including healthcare, requires innovative individuals and entities who can visualize what the future needs. In today’s complex collegiate athletic environment, it is essential for student-athletes to have access to proactive mental healthcare. Progressive thought leadership understands, “You can't manage, what you don’t measure.”
We look forward to developing the future with Louisville and our current members. Please let us know if you would like to learn more about membership and criteria to join.
Be well.
Walt Norley
OnBalance Founder & CEO
