Friday night wasn’t about basketball.
It was about building something bigger.

We had an incredible night at Champs watching the opening rounds of March Madness 🏀—but what stood out wasn’t just the games…

It was the people!

A full room of our team…physicians, staff, everyone—laughing, debating brackets, busting chops, and connecting in a way you just can’t replicate inside clinic walls!

No agendas.
No meetings.
No talk about work.

Just real conversations.

Because culture doesn’t happen by accident.
It’s built…intentionally.

We’re making a commitment to do more of this.
Not because it’s easy (it’s not), and unfortunately, we cannot do it every week either…

But because it matters.

Strong teams perform better.
Connected teams last longer.
And great organizations are built off moments like these.

Huge thank you to Pete Gardella and the entire Champs team—top-notch hospitality, incredible service, and the perfect environment for what we’re building!

This is how you bring people together.
This is how you build something that lasts.

Now we keep it going…

➡️ Where are we headed next?!

🏀 Another local athlete scoring 1,000 Points. One Incredible Milestone!

Scoring 1,000 career points in high school basketball is something very few athletes ever achieve. It takes years of dedication, relentless work ethic, discipline, and a true love for the game.

At University Orthopedics Center, we are proud to serve as team physicians for many of our local schools, and it’s always special to see these young athletes reach such an impressive milestone.

Behind every 1,000-point scorer is early mornings, late practices, countless shots in the gym, and the character to compete with integrity and sportsmanship.

👏 Congratulations to Grant Craig at Westmont High School!

Your commitment, leadership, and championship mindset make your communities proud.

We’re honored to support you, keep you healthy, and help you stay in the game.

Keep shooting. Keep working. The best is still ahead.
