Supporting Student Athletes: AHMG’s Commitment to School Sports

by | May 20, 2025 | Sports Medicine

At Access HealthCare Multispecialty Group (AHMG), we are proud to support the health and success of student-athletes throughout our community. Through both comprehensive sports physicals and active sideline medical support, Andrew Pieleck, D.O. volunteers his time to ensure that local athletes can participate safely and confidently in their sports programs.

The Importance of Sports Physicals

Sports physicals are more than a seasonal requirement — they are an essential part of safeguarding an athlete’s health. These evaluations help identify potential medical concerns, assess physical readiness for sports participation and offer reassurance to families and coaching staff.  Dr. Pieleck’s approach focuses on careful, individualized assessments, prioritizing each student’s long-term well-being.

Active Support Beyond the Clinic

In addition to providing sports physicals, Dr. Pieleck serves as a team physician, offering medical support directly on the sidelines during athletic events. His presence ensures that student-athletes have immediate access to expert care when they need it most — whether it’s responding to injuries, monitoring recovery or offering guidance on safe participation.

This hands-on involvement reflects AHMG’s broader commitment to being an active, reliable partner in the success and safety of student-athletes.

A Partnership That Strengthens Our Community

Our relationship with local sports programs is built on mutual trust and shared goals. We care for these students, and they energize and inspire our entire community. Through collaboration with athletic staff, coaches and families, AHMG is honored to contribute to a positive environment that supports student health, education and achievement.

When we invest in the well-being of young athletes, we help our whole community thrive — a responsibility and privilege we take seriously.

A Note of Thanks to RACV

We appreciate the support of Rehab Associates of Central Virginia (RACV) for their contributions to student-athlete care — especially their role in supporting sports physicals and providing excellent physical therapy services when needed. Their work complements our efforts and helps ensure that athletes receive comprehensive support throughout their training and recovery.

Continuing Our Commitment

At AHMG, our dedication to supporting student-athletes extends far beyond a single season. From comprehensive pre-participation physicals to real-time sideline support, Dr. Pieleck and our entire team remain committed to helping athletes pursue their goals with confidence and health at the forefront.

It is both an honor and a privilege to work with the youth of Lynchburg, Forest and our Central Virginia community in this important endeavor, and we are proud to be part of their journey.
