CARMEL, Ind. – Forté Sports Medicine and Orthopedics, previously known as Methodist Sports Medicine, announces today it has been named the official orthopedic and sports medicine provider of Indiana University Kokomo athletics.

Forté’s sports medicine physicians and orthopedic surgeons have extensive experience working with athletes to get them back to play quickly and safely. For nearly 40 years, Forté has proudly served the Indianapolis Colts, as well as universities and high schools across Central Indiana.

As part of the new agreement with IU Kokomo, Forté’s Dr. Kevin Condict will serve as head team physician and oversee the care of all student-athletes. Forté will also provide athletic trainers for the school’s 14 men’s and women’s sports.

“We are excited to expand our orthopedic and sports medicine services to student-athletes at IU Kokomo,” said Condict. “Our top priority is to provide these student-athletes with highly specialized, comprehensive care to help them stay active and healthy, now and for their long-term health.”

An orthopedic surgeon who specializes in total joint replacement and sports medicine, Condict treats patients at Forté’s clinics in Carmel and Tipton and serves as the team physician for Tipton High School athletics. In his new role at IU Kokomo, Condict will work alongside his athletic trainer colleagues, student-athletes, parents/guardians and coaches to prevent injuries, manage athletes’ conditions and develop plans for return to play.

“IU Kokomo athletics is looking forward to growing our relationship with Dr. Condict and the Forté team,” said Tom Norris, director of athletics at IU Kokomo. “Their depth of skill and experience will be invaluable to the physical and mental health of our student-athletes on the field of play and in life.”
