For nearly nine years, our social media posts have been created by Hillary Strilko, the Rubin Institute’s multimedia marketing manager, in collaboration with Pediatric Liaison Marilyn Richardson. Today is Hillary’s last day working with us, and she wanted to express how much she has enjoyed creating the ICLL’s website and sharing the ICLL’s news with you on our social media pages. She shares, “I have found it especially rewarding to share stories about our patients. It is so inspirational to see the amazing things our patients achieve despite the challenges that many of them face!” Hillary is leaving us to work on several writing projects, and we wish her all the best.

At LifeBridge Health, we celebrate staff who are "caught in the act of caring!" We’d like to recognize two staff members who went above the call of duty to make it possible for Dr. Fotis Souslian from the neurology department to X-ray his patient with the ICLL’s advanced X-ray technology—the standing, high-resolution, yet low-dose radiation EOSedge X-ray machine.

It was the end of the day when Dragana Radovanovic, Senior Radiologic Technologist, heard from Dr. Souslian, and she called Tania Martinez, ICLL Orthopedic Specialist, to see if she could help make it happen. Despite the fact that Tania was already home from work, she made all of the arrangements so the patient could be X-rayed with the EOSedge that evening. We really appreciate them going the extra mile to accommodate Dr. Souslian’s patient! Thanks for caring bravely, Dragana and Tania!

We thought we’d share some holiday cheer today! Our pediatric patients were delighted to pick out gifts for the holidays during their clinic visits. Special thanks to our toy donors & our resident elf, Pediatric Liaison Marilyn Richardson, who makes it such a special experience for each & every child. Our staff got in the holiday spirit too!

All of us at the International Center for Limb Lengthening wish you holidays that are merry and bright!

Charlotte doesn't let congenital femoral deficiency or fibular hemimelia keep her from setting the world on fire! She came to clinic for a check-up with Dr. McClure, and she had lots of great news to share with our pediatric liaison, Marilyn Richardson. Charlotte was named one of only 26 students nationwide to win the highly competitive Caroline D. Bradley Scholarship awarded by the Institute for Educational Advancement. She also has been on stage playing lead roles in her school’s drama program, including Fiona in Shrek and Alice in Alice in Wonderland. Congratulations, Charlotte!
