The sponsorship also involves marquee branding through LED signage, social media, digital media, and premier in-game activations. It includes rights to various community-focused programs and health initiatives.
“Our partnership with Emory Healthcare marks an important step in enhancing the club’s resources and commitment to innovation,” stated Garth Lagerwey, President and CEO of Atlanta United. “The addition of the Emory Healthcare Studio at our training facility will provide new opportunities to engage with our fans while showcasing the vital role Emory plays in supporting our team and the broader Atlanta community.”
“We are honored to be named as the Official Team Healthcare Provider for Atlanta United, as well as a founding partner with AMB Sports and Entertainment,” said Joon S. Lee, MD, CEO of Emory Healthcare. “The relationship marks our commitment to caring for Atlanta’s professional teams and supporting health and wellness initiatives in the communities we serve throughout metro Atlanta and beyond.”
