"Our partnership with Orange City Area Health System is critical to the success of our more than 20 athletic programs and over 530 student-athletes. Having Dr. Muilenburg and Dr. Dreise support our sports medicine staff will help us continue to honor Christ through excellence in athletics."

"I've been where (NWC athletes & athletic training staff) have been. I've seen Northwestern grow and change since being a student-athlete and working here," said Dr. Dreise. "I'm looking forward to working with Northwestern Athletics again in this new capacity!"
 
He will be joining OCAHS' Family Medicine team, along with the health system's medical clinics, critical access hospital, and emergency medicine group upon completing his family medicine residency in Des Moines.

"Having two physicians on staff to see our student-athletes will be super helpful," noted Director of Athletic Training Seth Wolles. "The OCAHS staff does an excellent job of working our student-athletes into the physicians schedules in a timely manner so that we can treat the injuries and get them back to competition." 

Dr. Dreise joins the team of Dr. Muilenburg and NWC's orthopedic surgeon Dr. Joshua Locker, MD as Northwestern continues their strong partnership with OCAHS to support Red Raider student-athletes.
