• The general manager of Ribera IMSKE, Isabel Muñoz, and the president of Levante UD, Pablo Sánchez, have signed the collaboration agreement by which the medical centre of reference in sports medicine also becomes a sponsor of the club for this season, with the possibility of renewal.

After the announcement last December 27th that Ribera IMSKE was taking over the medical services of Levante UD under the direction of Joel Gambín, now the hospital of the Ribera health group also supports Levante UD to unite both brands in each and every one of the sporting and social activities carried out by the club. Both institutions will also work together on programmes that combine sport and health, training days, workshops, as well as actions with the Levante UD squad players.

The general manager of Ribera IMSKE, Isabel Muñoz, and the president of Levante UD, Pablo Sánchez, have signed the collaboration agreement by which the medical centre of reference in sports medicine also becomes a sponsor of the club for this season, with the possibility of renewal.

Isabel Muñoz pointed out that “we are proud that a Club such as Levante UD has trusted our centre and our professionals to provide medical supervision for its staff, and we are very excited to be able to extend our collaboration to carry out new joint actions that unite two disciplines with so many synergies such as sport and health, to contribute to promoting healthy lifestyles in our population”.

“We were very happy with the incorporation of Ribera IMSKE to the Levante UD medical team because it is the latest vanguard in sports medicine and our main assets are in the best hands, but now, in addition, having their support as a brand to develop multiple joint actions is even better. When a supplier becomes a travelling companion as a collaborator, then we share values that in the end are what will take us further,” said Pablo Sánchez, president of Levante, who thanked Isabel Muñoz, Ignacio Muñoz, medical director of IMSKE, Joel Gambín, medical director of Levante UD and Carlos Cabreres, coordinator of Physiotherapy, for the work they are doing with Levante UD athletes and which they are developing side by side with the professionals who were already part of the club’s medical structure.
