Attendees learned how this multidisciplinary team combines medical expertise with innovation to empower athletes while advancing global healthcare equity. Reflecting on the importance of medical care during his career, Horry said: 'I was very blessed because, in the 16 seasons I played, I only got injured twice. The first time, a player fell on me, and I strained my medial collateral ligament. The injury happened on a Friday, and I was already getting rehab by Monday. I walked into rehabilitation on crutches, and they told me to lose the crutches. 'As an athlete, you put your trust in the doctors and physical therapists to get you back out there, and I think about that moment often—how they got me back to playing. It wasn't just about getting me back on the court; they taught me little things to ensure I never needed to see them again. After that, I never experienced anything physical that stopped me from playing because I was given preventative measures to take care of myself.'

Through its International Services division, it has extended its expertise to over 130 countries, forging relationships that make world-class care accessible to diverse communities.
