Meet Cooper 🐾
He belongs to Bethany, one of our amazing nurse practitioners—and he’s got a story worth sharing.
Cooper came all the way from the streets of Armenia after an injury left him with a severely damaged front leg. It was removed, and after a few stops in foster homes, he made his way to the U.S. to find his forever family. When he first arrived, he was timid, scared, and struggled to climb stairs.
Fast forward five years, and Cooper is thriving. He’s hiked mountains in California, Arizona, Utah, and Maine. He spends his days chasing squirrels, running trails, and reminding everyone around him that nothing can hold him back. Most people don’t even realize he has just three legs.
Cooper’s journey is a powerful reminder. At North Shore Neurology & EMG, we care for patients facing their own challenges every day. Like Cooper, they adapt, persevere, and live life fully—with strength, determination, and the right support.
Here’s to Cooper, and to all the fighters out there redefining what’s possible. 💪
