Feel free to decorate your trunk or bring a card table and chairs decorated with items from your favorite team, Baseball, Basketball, Football, high school, college and the pros. Of course, be sure to wear your best team apparel.

We will serve hamburgers, hot dogs, chips etc. Before dinner, take a stroll around the parking lot to see who has the best team spirit! It will be so good to be able to mingle with friends we haven’t seen for quite a while!

Please click here by September 30th to sign-up and let us know you will come so we can plan on how much food to supply.

Barb's Medical Minute

One of the more common elective surgeries is knee, because, let’s face it, our knees help us do, well….everything. If you need surgery, the good news is that the implants now last longer with fewer complications and younger people can now benefit from getting it sooner rather than later.

Here’s a few facts that might help keep your knees in tip-top shape:

Running helps improve bone density, muscle development and it might actually bulk up and strengthen cartilage.
If you hear cracking and popping noise when standing or squatting, it’s OK. That is only tiny air bubbles in the lubricating fluid in the joint making that sound and it’s completely normal.
One of the first things to help eliminate knee pain is to lose weight. Why? Because there is 3x to 6x your body weight of pressure on your knees every time you go up the stairs!!

So, if I don’t go up and down stairs, I’m good...right? That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it!

Several Openings Available in October!!
