Rolf Interviewed on Sports Talk TV Show in Washington D.C.
10/14/2011 flag

Great Comebacks® founder Rolf Benirschke was recently interviewed on Sports Talk, a live sports interview show on ABC affiliate News Channel 8 in Washington D.C! Rolf answered questions about his professional career as a place-kicker for the San Diego Chargers and he also shared details about the Great Comebacks® Program and the positive impact that the program has had on patients and families over the past 26 years.

Rolf was in Washington to participate in the AdvaMed MedTech Conference, an influential meeting attended by industry, policy-makers and media that focuses on advances in medical technologies. While he was at the meeting, Rolf met with members of Congress and former President George W. Bush to talk about access to care and other patient concerns. Rolf also moderated a panel on “Sports Medicine: Improvements in Lives and Aging Better.”
