TROY, N.Y. â The Tri-City ValleyCats announced Friday that St. Peterâs Health Partners will be the teamâs Official Healthcare Provider for the 2021 season. This relationship will deliver first class medical care to ValleyCats players while reinforcing St. Peterâs mission to provide health care to the entire Capital Region community.
Establishing a medical partnership was viewed as a top priority for the ValleyCats as the organization transitions from their affiliation with the Houston Astros to a more independent format as a member of an MLB Partner League. The ValleyCats officially began their first season in the Frontier League on May 27 but the foundation for a successful year on the field began several weeks earlier when players met with team doctors Thomas Chattathil, M.D., CAQ, and Matthew Brennan, M.D.
