Marshall partners with Oak Ridge High

Marshall is strengthening its commitment to the health and well-being of El Dorado County through a comprehensive, first-of-its-kind partnership with Oak Ridge High School. The five-year agreement supports the El Dorado Hills school's 72 athletic programs, while while connecting student-athletes, families, and the broader community with high-quality healthcare close to home. The partnership, which began with Oak Ridge's 2026 commencement ceremony attended by approximately 2,000 people, establishes Marshall as the school's premier health partner. The investment helps provide more equitable support for all athletic programs by easing the financial burden that often falls on school budgets, booster organizations, and the families of individual student-athletes. Through the agreement, Marshall will receive both permanent and digital signage in high-visibility locations throughout Oak Ridge's athletic facilities, including the football and track stadium, gymnasium, multi-purpose room, wrestling room, baseball and softball fields, pickleball courts, and other indoor and outdoor venues. Marshall will also be recognized through athletic programs, digital media, and public address announcements during home athletic events. The partnership extends well beyond Oak Ridge student-athletes, however. As the school athletic facilities serve thousands of community members each year through partnering organizations and events including the school's Jr. Trojans Football, Rolling Hills Middle School athletics, pickleball groups, regional track meets, wrestling tournaments, recreational basketball leagues and other programs, sponsorship creates opportunities for Marshall to promote its health and wellness services throughout the region. "Marshall is proud to invest in and support the students, families, and community that make our region such a vibrant place to live," said Martin Entwistle M.B., Ch.B., FRCSEd, Marshall's interim chief executive officer. "Youth athletics play a critical role in developing healthy lifestyles, teamwork, and resilience, and we're honored to help ensure Oak Ridge High School's athletic programs have the support they need to enable their students to excel. This relationship also allows us to connect families with locally-based, high-quality healthcare services available right here in their community." The partnership helps to highlight Marshall's growing presence in El Dorado Hills through its recently opened state-of-the-art medical facility at Town Center West. The clinic offers comprehensive care designed to help patients stay active and recover quickly. Services include same-day orthopedic and primary care, sports medicine, physical therapy, diagnostic imaging, and laboratory services—all conveniently located, many with extended hours, to serve area residents. Whether caring for competitive athletes of all ages recovering from injuries, helping active adults return to the activities they enjoy, or providing preventive care that keeps families healthy, Marshall's integrated team offers expert care close to home. "We're excited to welcome Marshall as our premier health partner," said Eric Cavaliere, teacher and athletic director at Oak Ridge High School. "This partnership provides meaningful support for every one of our athletic programs while helping ensure our students have access to outstanding healthcare resources. It also benefits our entire community by supporting equipment and facilities that are used year-round by youth sports organizations, schools, and recreational programs." Marshall looks forward to exploring similar partnerships with other area high schools and to continuing its long-standing commitment to improving the health and well-being of the communities it serves. These partnerships reflect a shared belief that healthy students, strong athletic programs, and accessible healthcare all contribute to a stronger, more connected community.
