Behind every step forward, there’s often a team helping you get there. 💪

October is National Physical Therapy Month, and we’re celebrating the physical therapists who play such an important role in helping patients move, recover, and return to the activities they love.

Whether you’re rebuilding strength after surgery, recovering from an injury, or working to improve mobility, physical therapy can be an important part of your orthopedic journey.

Progress doesn’t always happen overnight. It happens one exercise, one milestone, and one determined step at a time, and having the right people beside you can make all the difference.

To the physical therapists who educate, encourage, challenge, and support our patients along the way: thank you for being such an important part of the care team. ❤️

What is joint pain keeping you from doing?

Maybe it’s getting back on the golf course. Playing with your kids or grandkids. Exercising. Traveling. Or simply getting through your day without thinking about every step.

It’s easy to start adjusting your life around joint pain, but pain that consistently interferes with the things you enjoy deserves attention.

An orthopedic evaluation can help you better understand what’s causing your pain and what treatment options may be available. And that doesn’t always mean surgery.

Our goal is simple: listen to what you’re experiencing, explain your options clearly, and help you find the right path forward.

Because your goals matter, and getting back to the life you love matters, too. ❤️

When joint pain starts keeping you from the things you love, finding the right care can make all the difference. ❤️

For Sam Cydrus, his orthopedic journey has helped him get back to the life he enjoys, including time on the golf course. Along the way, he found a care team that made sure he felt informed, comfortable, and supported from the first appointment through recovery.

Soon, we’ll be sharing more of Sam’s story, his experience with Dr. Cohen, and what life looks like now.

Stay tuned. 👀

“A man never wanted to live forever… until he became a father.” ❤️

I don’t think I’ve ever read a statement that captures so perfectly how I feel about being a dad.

Before Emersyn and Olivia came into my life, I measured time differently. There were goals to accomplish, challenges to overcome, dreams to chase, and a life to build.

Then these two little girls came along, and suddenly, time became the most precious thing I have.

Not because I fear getting older. Not because I’m afraid of dying. But because there will never be enough time to watch them grow, hear their laughter, hold their hands, wipe away their tears, celebrate their victories, or simply be the person they know they can always count on.

I’ve been blessed with an incredible career, wonderful patients, and opportunities I never could have imagined. But nothing I’ve ever accomplished, or ever will accomplish, comes close to the privilege of being their dad.

And as much as I want to teach them about life, the truth is they’ve taught me more about what really matters than I could ever teach them.

I know I can’t live forever. And I know that one day, those little arms won’t need to wrap around my neck quite as often.

But if I could ask for one thing, it wouldn’t be more success, more recognition, or more possessions.

It would simply be more time.

More time to love them. More time to protect them. More time to watch them become the incredible women I know they’re destined to be.

And hopefully, enough time to make sure they never question just how much their dad loves them.

Emersyn and Olivia, you two are my forever. ❤️🙏

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a reminder that taking care of your health means looking at the whole picture. 💗

As an orthopedic team, our focus is helping patients move better, feel stronger, and get back to the lives they love. But we know that a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment can affect much more than one area of the body. Changes in strength, mobility, bone health, and overall well-being can all become part of a patient’s journey.

That’s why proactive care matters. Staying up to date on recommended breast cancer screenings and talking with your healthcare provider about any changes or concerns can make a meaningful difference.

This month, we encourage you to take care of yourself, and remind the people you love to do the same. Because patient-first care isn’t just about treating an injury or condition. It’s about caring for the whole person, every step of the way. 💗

Shirley Skaggs Miller Vernon, you are too kind

Great Seal — Week 5 of 104

I haven’t missed a Saturday clinic yet.

People occasionally ask me why I keep doing them when the rest of my week is already pretty full.

The answer is simple.

The best ability is availability.

You can build beautiful buildings. You can buy incredible technology. You can recruit great physicians and surround them with talented nurses and staff.

But none of it means very much if the patient who needs you can’t get to you.

That lesson has shaped my practice for more than 25 years, and it is shaping Great Seal too.

When someone is hurting, scared, or worried about a family member, being told they can be seen six weeks from Tuesday isn’t particularly comforting.

Sometimes what people need most is simply for someone to say:

“Come in. We’ll take care of you.”

That is part of what PatientsFirst means to me.

And it is why Great Seal was never envisioned as simply an ambulatory surgery center.

Advanced imaging matters.

Urgent care matters.

Next-generation operating rooms matter.

Technology and patient safety matter tremendously.

But access matters too.

My hope is that Great Seal creates a place where people throughout South Central Ohio can receive exceptional care closer to home—and where we never become so impressed with the facility we built that we forget the people we built it for.

There will be plenty of sophisticated technology inside Great Seal.

But I still believe one of the most powerful things we can offer a patient costs absolutely nothing:

Being there when they need us.

100 weeks to go.

A long way to go, but every week the vision becomes a little more real.

PatientsFirst!
