(July 25, 2023) – Anthony “Nino” Saglimbeni, M.D., Head Team Internist for the San Francisco 49ers was appointed to the NFL Physicians Society (NFLPS) Board of Directors.

“I’m honored to be named to the NFLPS Board, and I look forward to being further involved in advancing the mission of such a prestigious organization,” said Dr. Saglimbeni.

Dr. Saglimbeni has worked with the San Francisco 49ers as a team internist since 2014. In addition to work with the 49ers, he also serves as physician for the San Francisco Giants, Santa Clara University and Bellarmine College Preparatory.

We are looking forward to the expertise that he will bring to the Board.”

Saglimbeni founded his practice, West Coast Sports Institute (formerly South Bay Sports and Preventive Medicine Associates), with the goal of providing the highest quality medicine experience to the citizens of the greater South Bay area. His medical group is well known in the Bay Area as a leader of sports medicine.
