A community.
Young Athlete Health Society is a private, membership-based community for physicians and health professionals focused on the cardiac safety and performance health of young athletes. High-trust, built for real collaboration. Sport centers, schools, and families join as Partner Members.
Every dimension of a
young athlete's health.
Our physician members span the full spectrum of youth sports medicine. Collaboration happens across specialties — so athletes get complete care.
Too long on the sidelines.
Most young athletes wait weeks — sometimes months — for specialist access after a cardiac event or syncope episode. Coaches and families are left without answers. The Young Athlete Health Society changes that with direct physician access, warm referrals, and shared clinical expertise.
Built by those who know
what's at stake.
A pediatric cardiologist with 40 years protecting young hearts, and a health platform builder who believes every athlete deserves access to the best care.
"The less times a young athlete is held out of activity pending clearance, the better. That's what we're here to change."
Founder of Avalon Pediatric Cardiology. Former Director of Pediatric Echocardiography at Weill Cornell and President of the Pediatric Cardiology Society of Greater New York. 38 years faculty at NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell. NY Magazine Top Physician since 2012. Physician of the Year NYP 2017.
"I built the community I wished existed for the families and physicians protecting young athletes."
Founder & CEO of Doctoloop — connecting patients with independent top-tier physicians. Co-founder of Wellness Woman Society. She has spent years closing the gap between exceptional physicians and the patients who need them.
From application to
community — four steps.
We review every application personally. Membership is free, selective, and built to stay high-quality.
The less time a young athlete spends waiting for clearance — the better.
Most young athletes wait weeks for specialist access. Our community changes that — through shared expertise, fast referrals, and a physician network built around the athlete's timeline, not the system's.
Two types of members.
One shared mission.
Physician Members lead the clinical community. Partner Members — sport centers, schools, and families — connect with and benefit from that expertise.
