NFL Legends Teaming Up with Long Island Dental Sleep Medicine and Pro Player Health Alliance to Improve Player Health
Long Island, New York (PRWEB) November 27, 2013
A line up of NFL Hall of Fame and All-Pro players will be partnering with Long Island Dental Sleep Medicine and Pro Player Health Alliance (PPHA) to get their former teammates on board improving player health and spreading the word to the public in Long Island, New York. With a combined event of screening former players for overall health and a free public awareness event to top off the night, PPHA expects December 5, 2013 to be the biggest event of the year. Dr. Seltzer and Dr. Rein, considered to be two of the most experienced dentists in the New York area, will be the first east coast dentists to participate in a HOPE Program screening and are now becoming the go-to guys for former NFL players in the region.
David Gergen, President of Pro Player Health Alliance says, “Dr. Rein and Dr. Seltzer are two of the finest dentists I know; I only refer the players I work with to the best doctors in the country. After this event, I want Dr. Rein and Dr. Seltzer to be known as the doctors who treat NFL greats. They will do a great job at the Super Bowl Symposium this year.”
The PPHA events are perfect for individuals who want to learn more about sleep apnea, alternative treatment options to CPAP such as the oral appliance known as the Sleep Herbst and to hear genuine stories from American heroes who have experienced the same complications. Where else would you go to meet NFL greats and learn about sleep apnea from experts in the industry for free? As a fun twist, Pro Player Health Alliance holds a free raffle for registered attendees that include prizes signed by the players.
