News
JMU has reached an agreement with Sentara RMH Orthopedics and Sports Medicine to set up a satellite office for JMU students in the University Health Center's specialty clinic on Monday afternoons, beginning Jan. 19.
"This new, additional service available to JMU students at the University Health Center will be very convenient for our students who need to see an orthopedic specialist, or who need to schedule follow-up appointments with the Sentara RMH Orthopedics and Sports Medicine team and can now do so on-campus," said University Health Center Director Lee Ward.
The University Health Center, located in the Student Success Center on JMU's campus, has a specialty clinic off the walk-in clinic entrance on the corner of Mason Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way.
"The University Health Center already has a registered dietitian on staff providing nutritional counseling two days a week in the specialty clinic and a dermatology physician assistant rotating through there every other Friday," said University Health Center Medical Director Stephen Q. Rodgers, MD. "Now Sentara RMH Orthopedics and Sports Medicine will be in there on Monday afternoons, expanding the services provided to JMU students at the University Health Center."
The Sentara RMH Orthopedics and Sports Medicine team will provide specialty care to JMU students with a wide variety of conditions and injuries, including:
- Sports-related injuries
- Concussions
- Shoulder injuries
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Arthroscopic surgery
- Fracture care

- Foot and ankle injuries
Sentara RMH will handle scheduling and billing for its orthopedics and sports medicine services provided at the University Health Center. Call the Sentara RMH Business Office at 540-564-5900, or toll free at 800-858-0383, for insurance or billing questions in regards to Sentara RMH services.
