Finger Lakes Health

CAITLIN KETCHAM recently joined Finger Lakes Health as a certified athletic trainer who will be stationed at local school sporting events in Geneva. Finger Lakes Health provides a continuum of care to young athletes through its network of physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, physical therapists, and a dedicated athletic trainer. Ketcham will treat students ranging from in-and-out of season athletes as well as the general population. In addition to treating students in the athletic training room and attending team practices, she will attend games, and also work with athletes who may be unable to fully participate with the rest of their team due to injury. She received her bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs in 2011 before earning a master’s degree in athletic training from Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire, three years later. Ketcham previously worked as an assistant athletic trainer at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. She created and supervised therapeutic exercise programs, worked on computerized concussion testing, and evaluated and treated NCAA Division I and Division III student athletes.
