⭐ Congratulations to Our Athletic Trainer of the Month: Nicole Brown! ⭐
We’re thrilled to continue our tradition of recognizing outstanding athletic trainers who go above and beyond to support athletes in achieving their best. 🥇

For April, we’re proud to celebrate Nicole, whose passion, expertise, and dedication shine through in everything she does. She began her career as an Athletic Trainer at Gananda Central School District and now covers Keshequa Central School.

Nicole also makes a meaningful impact at Strong Memorial Hospital, helping patients regain mobility and recover after long hospital stays. Her work is deeply personal, as she gives back to the same hospital where her mom received cancer treatment—a full-circle experience that fuels her drive to make a difference.

Her enthusiasm to connect with people from all walks of life is just one of the many reasons she’s an exceptional athletic trainer. Your hard work and commitment are truly appreciated—thank you for all that you do! 🙌

A new space for learning—and a powerful legacy of impact. 💙
Thanks to the generosity and vision of Mary Ellen Burris, a new education space at the Saunders Center for Orthopaedics & Physical Performance will help train and inspire the next generation of surgeons and health professionals. Her support reflects a deep commitment to advancing education, innovation, and patient care.

Mary Ellen was inspired by this project because it also provides a hub for community outreach, education, and advocacy, further strengthening its impact beyond the walls of the center.

The Saunders Center is one of the most comprehensive orthopaedic facilities in the Northeast, bringing together cutting-edge care, research, and training all under one roof to help patients restore movement and live healthier lives.

Mary Ellen’s gift strengthens our mission to always be Ever Better—for our learners, our patients, and our community.
