Presenting Sponsor Trinity Health Of New England is celebrating 30 years of partnership with the Travelers Championship this year by expanding its programming throughout tournament week. From serving as Official Medical Provider to hosting an expansive Fan Zone experience, sponsoring military programs and promoting colleague engagement, Trinity Health Of New England continues to embrace its legacy of delivering progressive caregiving while improving the local community.
“We are privileged to partner with the Travelers Championship as part of our shared mission to enhance the health and well-being of the local community – especially among underserved individuals,” said Dr. Reggy Eadie, president and CEO of Trinity Health Of New England. “The tournament continues to improve each year, and we are doing our part by elevating the services we provide for the benefit of fans, players and local charities.”
As Official Medical Provider of the Travelers Championship, Trinity Health Of New England provides complimentary medical attention for fans, volunteers, players and their families. Integrated care is provided throughout the course by mobile EMS team members and paramedics, as well as by physicians and medical staff located within a comprehensive mobile medical center. Several remote medical facilities also offer medical assistance for a range of needs, from sprained ankles, dehydration and heat stroke to more serious conditions.
The Trinity Health Rest and Recharge Zone, located in the Stanley Black & Decker Fan Zone behind the clubhouse, offers a complete suite of family care services. The air-conditioned venue features comfortable seating, breastfeeding and diaper changing rooms for moms with babies and young children and other amenities designed to help families rest and relax during the tournament.
Underscoring its long-standing support for military members, veterans and their families, Trinity Health Of New England has once again stepped up to serve as Presenting Sponsor of the Patriots’ Outpost military-exclusive hospitality chalet, located on the 18th hole. The Outpost will provide thousands of military guests throughout the week with complimentary food and beverages, premium views of the tournament action from a spectacular vantage point overlooking TPC River Highlands’ beautiful finishing hole, and an opportunity to share camaraderie with other military members. In addition, Trinity Health’s integrative medicine team will be on-site providing guests with complimentary therapeutic chair massages. Complementing its sponsorship of the hospitality venue, Trinity Health Of New England is sponsoring this year’s Birdies for the Brave Military Caddie Program, offering active duty military members from local bases with the unique opportunity to caddie for PGA TOUR players on one hole during the Travelers Celebrity Pro-Am.
In addition, Trinity Health Of New England plays an important role in providing the Travelers Championship with volunteer support. Throughout the week, hundreds of Trinity Health colleagues serve as marshals on hole #5; provide medical services; and staff the Health Rest and Recharge Zone and Patriots’ Outpost, as part of the organization’s deep commitment to volunteerism.
