The right fit and weight can make a big difference in reducing stress on growing muscles and joints. Remember to:

🎒Pick a backpack that matches your child’s size
🎒Adjust the straps so the bag sits close to the body
🎒Pack only the essentials
🎒Limit the loaded backpack to 10–20% of body weight

A few simple adjustments can help students stay comfortable all year long!

⚠️🚨MyChart Email Scam Alert

A phishing email scam is currently circulating that uses the MyChart name and logo. These emails reference a "2026 MyChart Senior Health Package" or a Medicare-related wellness benefit such as a free health kit. They may also include a button asking you to "Confirm My Address & Kit."

These are NOT legitimate MyChart communications and are not from your hospital.

❓What should you do?
If you or someone you know receives a message like this:
🔸Do not click any links or buttons.
🔸Do not provide personal, medical, financial, or insurance information.
🔸Do not reply to the email.
🔸Report the message as phishing or junk, then delete it.

Remember, scammers often use familiar logos and names to make them appear trustworthy and legitimate.

Wondering how long a new joint can last?🦵✨

Today’s hip and knee replacements are made to provide long-term relief. Many last 15 to 25 years or longer, depending on your activity level, overall health, weight, implant type, and how well you follow your care plan after surgery.

At Iowa Specialty Orthopedics, we help patients feel prepared for joint replacement and supported through every step of recovery, so they can get back to moving with less pain.
