With his rookie NFL season just two years behind him, running back Gale Sayers sustained a career altering injury when San Francisco 49ers’ Kermit Alexander tackled him in a game at Wrigley Field. Sayers, a previous Rookie-of-the-Year, suffered a torn cartilage and two torn ligaments in his right knee. It was a devastating injury. Two years later, Sayers would injure his left knee pulling a ligament and effectively ending his NFL career with the Chicago Bears. Sayers was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame, the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, the Black Athlete’s Hall of Fame and finally the greatest honor of all the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

I’m Gale Sayers and I know what it is like to be injured on the job. I know the personal pain associated with an injury that can affect not only your physical abilities but also your ability to provide financial support for your family. The human turmoil associated with a workplace injury is emotionally difficult for any employee. Medcor’s professional clinicians provide excellent medical guidance but even more important, compassionate emotional support. I am excited to be involved with a company that addresses issues that I can relate to personally.
