What a week at Medinah! 🇺🇸🏆

The 2026 Presidents Cup is officially over, with the USA bringing home the cup!

We are grateful to have spent the week at Medinah, providing orthopedic care alongside the UChicago Medicine - Advent Health team.

From early mornings to final matches on Sunday, it was an incredible experience for our team and a reminder of what can happen when great people come together around a shared purpose: provide exceptional orthopedic care and help keep people moving.

Proud of our team. Grateful for this opportunity. It was a week we won't forget!

Congrats, Team USA! ⛳️🇺🇸🏆

09/26/2026

"Mission and quality can coexist.”

This morning at Medinah feels like a pretty incredible reminder of what that means.

Genesis Orthopedics was built on the belief that mobility changes lives — that when people can move freely, they can work, care for their families, and contribute to their communities.

Today, that mission has brought us to one of golf’s biggest stages.

We’re incredibly proud to provide orthopedic care at the Presidents Cup in partnership with UChicago Medicine AdventHealth — bringing the same commitment to advanced, personalized care here that we bring to our patients and communities every day.

World-class care and meaningful access don’t have to be competing ideas. They can — and should — exist together.

Grateful for how far this team has come. Even more excited about where we’re going. ☀️🏆

At the PGA Korn Ferry Tour last week, we were proud to once again serve as the official orthopedic staff for the Evans Scholars Invitational tournament at The Glen Club in Glenview, IL.

Whether you’re a professional athlete striving to perform at your best or someone simply looking to get back to work, family, or the activities you love, we at Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine believe deeply that everyone deserves access to the same high-quality orthopedic care.

Thank you to over 100 of our partners, colleagues, and community members for attending our gathering in the VIP tent at the 18th green! We truly enjoyed the conversations and opportunity to build new and lasting connections. A special thanks to the golfers and to our good friend Dayo Odeyingbo of the Chicago Bears for stopping by and spending time with the attendees.

If you weren’t able to join us this year, we hope to see you at the next Evans Scholars Invitational and at our other functions over the next year. Until then, we will continue doing what we love: helping people move better, recover stronger, and live healthier lives.
