White will continue to work full-time at the school, and is available for all students, student athletes, school personnel. The Ursuline community already trusts her knowledge, judgement and care, given the rapport she has cultivated over her time there. “Ursuline is excited about this new partnership with Beacon Orthopaedics and Dr. Cha,” said Colleen Dehring, Ursuline Academy athletic director. “We are confident that the Beacon team will provide our athletes the best medical care, keeping everyone safe and healthy.”
