SFCS/St. Francis Eastside Partnership

Shannon Forest Christian School (SFCS) would like to remind our families of the partnership we have with St. Francis of Eastside and our on-call Athletic Trainer Blair LaMarche.  ANY SFCS student, parent, sibling or family member who suffers from an injury may use these services – you do NOT have to be a Crusader athlete.  In the event a need arises (regardless of when or where the injury occurs) follow these steps:

1.      Contact Rita Harrell at 864.979.8370

2.      She will contact Trainer Blair LaMarche (you may also contact Blair directly at 864.243.1528).  St. Francis also has a Sports Medicine Hurtline hotline you can call: 675-HURT (4878).

3.      Blair will provide an initial evaluation of the injury at the school with no cost to your family.  If you feel the need to go to the emergency room, he can call ahead to St. Francis at Eastside to let them know you are coming.

4.      Should you require further treatment, you will be referred to Dr. John Vann or Dr. Tom Baumgarten at Piedmont Orthopedics.

5.      Physical Therapy sessions are also available through St. Francis.

If your family has a non-emergency medical or sports medicine need, Dr. Steven Keiser will be happy to assist you.
