Kearney Public Schools (KPS) is pleased to announce a significant partnership with Schrock Medical Clinic, which has committed to a five-year Champion-Level Sponsorship of the Kearney High Bearcats. This sponsorship exceeded the minimum expectations set out in the RFP process. Schrock Medical Clinic will provide crucial support for the Kearney Public Schools Athletics Department and will enhance the athletic experience for students at Kearney High School, and Sunrise and Horizon Middle Schools.
The agreement, effective from August 1, 2024, through July 31, 2029, also includes an in-kind contribution from Schrock Medical Clinic valued at over $18,000 annually. This agreement contains various health services for KPS staff. The services consist of The Schrock Medical Soft Tissue Release Process which is non-invasive soft-tissue and nerve treatment, including treatment of strains, sprains, and other musculoskeletal disorders. Hands-on, movement-based treatment is specifically designed to quickly reduce pain and restore function. Treatment may also include Kinesio Taping and/or instructional stretches and exercises that can be performed at home to further the healing process once treatment has been received. Whether a KPS staff member has a minor strain or a complex injury, this treatment allows them to get back to work and back to play faster and more effectively.
“This is a BIG day for KPS Athletics! This is also a perfect example of Kearney High School being one of the most supported schools in the state and the audience that our athletes compete in front of night in and night out. We are excited to partner with Schrock Medical Clinic as our exclusive Champion-Level Sponsor for Bearcat Athletics,” said Ryan Hogue, Kearney Public Schools Athletic Director. “This agreement provides essential financial support for our athletics programs and offers invaluable health services for our staff. Schrock Medical Clinic was very motivated to become a high-level corporate sponsor with KPS, and this commitment to our students and athletic programs demonstrates the type of partnership that will benefit everyone involved.”
Jason Mundorf, KPS Superintendent, stated, “The resources provided by Schrock Medical Clinic will allow us to continue enhancing our athletic facilities and programs. This partnership will help us maintain our high standards and ensure that our students have the best possible environment to thrive both on and off the field. We are also excited by the in-kind services that will be offered by Schrock Medical Clinic allowing our staff to enjoy a healthier, pain-free life! Additionally, I would like to say “thank you” for the many years of support provided by NebraskaLand Bank. They have been a terrific KPS partner, and we are confident Schrock will continue the tradition of outstanding partnerships our school district enjoys with our community.”
Dr. Sam Schrock, owner of Schrock Medical Clinic, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are honored to support Kearney Public Schools and the Bearcats through this Champion-Level Sponsorship. As a local business deeply rooted in this community, we believe in investing in our schools and the well-being of our youth. This partnership allows us to give back in a meaningful way while promoting health and wellness among the dedicated faculty and staff and students of Kearney Public Schools.”
Dr. Schrock added, “In addition to our financial commitment, we are excited to provide onsite health services to KPS faculty and staff. Our goal is to ensure that those shaping our community’s future are well-supported in their own health and wellness.”
