It was a successful first workday in multiple disciplines from the MN healing hands team. We are now at "full" strength after the arrival of Al (prosthetics) and Nathalie (orthotics).
The team has plans for painting of a mural in the clinic and we have successfully "unpacked" our donations. There are approx 17 children at Holy Angels and our interdisciplinary team of therapists are planning on a in-service in the AM. It was a busy first day in O&P clinic, casting 5 new prostheses and revising 3 others. The Minnesota team will be sponsoring a new prosthesis for a patient who was unable to pay when he arrived at the clinic. Thank you so much for your donations enabling us to provide these type of services!!
In clinic, Dr Fisher, Dr Hofkens and Dr Rhode all saw a variety of patients ranging from children with musculoskeletal disorders to patients with recent strokes. Ongoing organization of the pharmacy and storage areas are providing important information of overall inventory to improve clinic efficiency.
We all remain energized (especially after a nice cool swim) and look forward to the day tomorrow.
