Why does grip strength matter?⬇️

Grip strength is an excellent indicator of your overall health. 💪🏼

Weak grip strength may mean:
• Decreased muscle strength
• A higher risk of falls or injuries
• Increased risk of losing mobility and independence as you age

How can you improve your grip strength?

• Try farmer’s carries using dumbbells or even a water bottle or can of soup
• Squeeze a grip strength device or stress ball for 5 to 10 minutes, twice a day

Small, consistent efforts can make a big difference in your bone and joint health and long term mobility. 💪🦴

🌍✨ From metrics to meaning.

Healthcare Innovator Intern Madigan reflects on her Mission 2025 experience with Operation Walk Pittsburgh, lead by Dr. Tony DiGioia—and how the numbers quickly faded once the real impact began.

Madigan said, “But once we were there, the numbers faded into the background… Success isn’t about a data sheet or final totals—it’s about the stories behind them.”

From patients walking without pain to families gaining hope for the future, Madigan beautifully captures how this Mission is measured not in statistics, but in human connection. 💙

Read her full story and be inspired by the moments that matter most.
