Thunder Ortho is thankful for the skill and compassion of the outstanding nurses at Soaring!

Many patients have anxiety about getting an IV placed. Soaring is proud to brag that our preop RN, Bev Weimer, is phenomenal at this skill. A recent patient (who is a retired RN and who knows she is herself a “hard stick”) said: “I was so worried about that IV and Bev made it happen so easily.”

Thank you Bev! You make a huge personal difference at Soaring!!!

Happy National Cat Day! 🐱

Not only is Lacresha Jackson our resident cat enthusiast, but she’s also an experienced and compassionate medical assistant. Lacresha brings kindness, wisdom, and genuine care to every patient she meets — and we’re so grateful to have her on our team!

Last week, we celebrated Medical Assistant Recognition Week by giving Lacresha a well-deserved paid day off to enjoy the zoo with her daughter.
