WARWICK – Kent Hospital recently announced the addition of Affinity Sports Medicine, an affiliate of Kent Hospital, which will be directed by JEFFREY D. MANNING, MD, and will offer specialized treatment and prevention of injuries and illness for all ages and abilities. Dr. Manning is a board certified family physician with a certificate of added qualification in sports medicine. He specializes in primary care sports medicine, focusing on treating illness as well as injury. He is a faculty member at the Alpert Medical School at Brown University and the University of Massachusetts. Prior to medical school, Dr. Manning was a high school science teacher and coached football and lacrosse. “You do not have to be an athlete to benefit from sports medicine services,” says Dr. Manning. “For an individual who wishes to become active and begin an exercise program or someone who has musculoskeletal problems, sports medicine can be extremely beneficial.
