"We're proud to be associated with Bowling Green State University," said Stan Korducki, President of Wood County Hospital. "The University is a vital organization in this community, and by working together we can both be more effective. The naming rights and athletic sponsorships help us to reach out to the community and create awareness of everything we do, especially our sports medicine program, rehabilitation and diagnostic services."

"Wood County Hospital is a valued partner to BGSU and its athletic program," said Greg Christopher, BGSU Assistant Vice President/Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. "This naming partnership is an extension of our relationship. Whether it's helping our student-athletes on the sports medicine front or providing support through other avenues, we appreciate the backing of everyone at Wood County Hospital."
