NATIONAL ACL INJURY COALITION
Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) and the Aspen Institute have partnered to form the first national coalition to reduce ACL injuries. The National ACL Injury Coalition envisions a sports ecosystem in which high school participants learn to move better and face fewer threats to serious injury, so they can remain active for life.
