Local volunteers are the backbone of the Olympics and Kelowna’s Randy Goodman has certainly played a central roll.

Goodman is charge of  leading therapy services at the “best polyclinic in Olympic games history” says a recent article in the Kelowna Capital News.

The 10,000 square-foot multi-specialty, state of the art medical clinic has everything from physiotherapy to massage to chiropractic, acupuncture, bracing and orthotics. Goodman is in charge of a team of physios (many PABC members )  who were treating mostly athletes from outside of Canada,  some of whom wouldn’t have been able to compete without the services at the polyclinic,  he says in the article. While many of the larger teams brought their own physios, most relied on the services provided by Goodman’s team.

A story in the Vancouver Sun also featured the world class facility in a February 15th article.

Goodman applied for the position to run the polyclinic three years ago and began preparations for the Olympics two years ago.

Kudos to Goodman and his team!
