The department

Officers treated like tactical athletes

For Goodyear Police Chief Brian Issitt, treating first responders like athletes isn’t theoretical; it’s personal. As a former Division I football and baseball player, he understands the value of sports medicine.

The challenge

Delays and inconsistent care were costing time

Before Ready Rebound, Goodyear Police faced familiar challenges such as treatment delays and inconsistent provider quality, leading to lost time and avoidable long-term injuries.

  • “Our police officers are tactical athletes. We use our bodies similarly to professionals: quick movements with no warning. That means we need the right care at the right time.”

The solution

A pilot that moved the first case on day one

Goodyear PD launched a pilot program with Ready Rebound, and the impact was immediate. Ready Rebound’s Navigator Team worked directly with Goodyear PD’s employees to coordinate care and streamline appointments.

“We’re able to secure initial appointments and ancillary services very quickly,” said Stephanie Kee, Navigator Team Lead. “Members often move from their first call to imaging and follow-up without delay, which has significantly improved how our team operates.”

What changed

  • First member case submitted on day one
  • Initial appointments in days, not weeks
  • Imaging scheduled close behind the first visit

“We had people call Ready Rebound and get an appointment the same day or the next day. Word spread like wildfire.”

The partnership

A partnership built on trust

From leadership to front-line officers, the difference was clear from the start. Lowe, who spent nearly a decade building employee wellness programs, put it simply.

  • “Officers felt like they had someone who cared. That changed everything.”
