Sports Medicine

Sports Medicine is not only the treatment of injury during competition, it encompasses a wide variety of health issues related to an active lifestyle. At FHSM, we provide high quality care not only for bumps and sprains but also for other serious medical issues that can impact an athletes performance including eating disorders, sports nutrition, and concussion management. We routinely care for both elite and recreational athletes of all ages. We can provide information on exercise, nutrition, and injury prevention for any patient looking to start down the path of healthier living.Dr. Rosenberg has been Team Physician at Providence College since 2003 and Dr. Rubeor has been a Team Physician at Providence College since 2014. All three of our doctors are Assistant Professors of Family Medicine at Alpert Medical School of Brown University, teaching sports medicine to medical students and Family Medicine residents. Drs. Puerini, Rosenberg, and Wilson were an integral part of the creation of the Brown University Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship which graduated its first fellow in 2015.

From The Doctor's Desk:

Flu Shots
Its getting to be that time of year, namely flu season. Current guidelines recommend a flu vaccine for everyone, especially the young, the old and those with chronic medical problems. Even if you are not one of these high risk patients, getting the vaccine will help protect your loved ones from getting the flu. We understand that the vaccine is not 100% effective, but studies have shown a significant reduction in risk of getting the flu when you are vaccinated. Due to limited office supply and high demand, we suggest you get your flu shot at your local pharmacy. And remember-wash your hands and cover your mouth when coughing and sneezing!

The History of FHSM

Family Health and Sports Medicine was founded in 1983 by Dr. Al Puerini on Park Avenue, Cranston, RI. As an avid runner, Dr. Puerini's goal was to provide the community with high quality primary care and to promote a healthy lifestyle through exercise and nutrition. Sharing the same passion for helping families live healthier, Dr. Mark Rosenberg joined FHSM in 2003 in its Reservoir Avenue location. In 2005, Dr. Jeff Wilson brought his expertise in primary care and sports medicine to FHSM and in 2017 Dr. Amity Rubeor joined FHSM bringing her expertise in both primary care and sports medicine. Our board-certified Family Physicians are devoted to the health care of patients of all ages. We provide annual physical examinations, well child check-ups, same day sick visits, sports injury evaluations, minor surgical procedures and chronic disease management. Drs. Rosenberg, Wilson, and Rubeor have all been appointed Assistant Professors of Family Medicine at Alpert Medical School of Brown University. Since its inception more than 30 years ago, Family Health and Sports Medicine has grown to include an entire team dedicated to the goal of helping patients live healthier. Our current staff includes a nutritionist, a behavioral counselor, and a Nurse Care Manager. We have earned the prestigious NCQA designation as a Level III Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) which means that our physicians and staff have all been specially trained to coordinate the complete care of each and every patient. (see Primary Care tab for more information) FHSM moved to its current location on Sockanossett Cross Road in January 2015. This office is conveniently located with on-site lab and x-ray services.

Patient Centered Medical Home

Family Health and Sports Medicine (FHSM) is now part of a national pilot program to develop ways of improving overall care to you, our patients. The new concept is called the “Patient Centered Medical Home’ (PCMH). The National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA), after much preparation on our part, designated FHSM as a Level 1 PCMH in June 2009. Our goal is to reach the maximum of Level 3 by end of 2010.
Family Health and Sports Medicine (FHSM) has been recognized by the National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA), after much preparation on our part, as a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). FHSM achieved initial certification as a Level 3 Practice in December 2010 and renewed their recognition for Level 3 in May 2016.
The “team” at Family Health and Sports Medicine consists of 3 doctors, 3 medical assistants, 1 office manager and 2 assistants. In October 2008, another addition was added to the team, a nurse care manager (NCM). Our NCM has become as essential part of the team and coordinates all preventive care while working with our physicians and medical assistants. Our goal is for our entire staff to work together with our patients to provide support for chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and depression. We are also putting strong emphasis on helping people to quit smoking. Another important goal is preventive medicine. We want to identify health problems early, in order to work with our patients on prevention before these problems become serious illnesses. The NCM role is to provide education, counseling regarding nutrition and prevention of disease. She will assist with hospital follow-up, ensuring that our patients have had an easy transition back into their homes and are receiving proper care and appointments with their providers. Our nurse care manager is a certified diabetes and cardiovascular disease educator and smoking cessation counselor.
We are continually working to improve care to our patients. We have added a depression-screening questionnaire to our medical record. This simple test has aided the practice in diagnosing cases of depression that may have not been otherwise detected. The NCM is able to offer individualized diabetes education as well as group classes for our patients. Smoking cessation education, cholesterol, and pre-diabetes are also some newer programs at FHSM.The above are just some changes our practice has undergone in the last several years. Our goal is to promote wellness, prevent disease and do everything possible to keep all of our patients as healthy as possible.
There are more exciting things to come!
Our primary interest is you! You are the “center” of all our efforts.
