Okay, the summer has been busy at Rock Island PT. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be catching up on a few of the happenings. First on the list….

Farewell Madison Hetzler! Thank you for being such a blessing to us and those we have served over the last year and a half. We wish you and Jackson all the best and can’t blame you for following him to Georgia. Thank you for the kind words about your time with us. Farewell until the Ruston vacuum cleaner sucks you back!

This is what Madison had to say about her experience at Rock Island PT:

"Prior to working at RIPT the routine of going to work and just simply doing “my job” had taken over, RIPT has rekindled my desire for learning and investing in my career to better serve the community. My time at RIPT has been a blessing, it’s helped develop me into a confident well-rounded clinician with a curiosity and desire to continue to grow and learn throughout my career." -Madison Hetzler, DPT and former RIPT Rock Star

Remembering our veterans and their families this Memorial Day. Thank you for your sacrifices.

Last year I read two great books on WWII.

“The Rifle” by Andrew Biggio and “All
The Galiant Men” by Donald Stratton.

I highly recommend them both. A repeated theme that blew me away was how many veterans jumped back into life after experiencing so much and found healing in serving their families and communities.

Thank you for teaching us how important it is to find purpose in serving others.

Jack Edwards!
Thank you for using your humble, joyful and teachable super powers with us the last year. You are the fifth patient centered super hero from this clinic off to PT school in 4 years and we are so proud of you!

Back in the Saddle
It’s a phrase used figuratively to describe getting back to something you haven’t been doing.

In this case it’s literal.

For the first time back in the saddle after a big crash last June. There was a little fear to overcome rolling off the Hub on the yellow jacket trail.

It makes sense. Injuries hurt and are costly. No matter what the injury is there is always a little fear mixed in with the active steps toward recover.

Some of you are fearless. In the clinic I see you each week face your fears and persevere in hope.

You inspire me and remind me that hope is more powerful than fear.

In fact, hope is the most powerful ingredient in recovery.

To our patients. Thank you for daily reminding me!

So thankful to serve others alongside this dynamicmic duo over the last few years.

Congrats to Brogan and Katie on graduating LA Tech and heading on to PT school.

Acts 17:26 reminds me our coming and going is not random. It’s humbling to see how God has provided others to serve alongside in the mission of helping others Hurt Less, Move Better and Live More.

Looking forward to the future!

Thank you both!
