When Brittney Arledge woke up in the hospital after her car accident, she never imagined how much her life would change.

After the accident, doctors worked tirelessly to repair the damage, performing 16 surgeries in an attempt to save her leg. But the day before her birthday, they made the difficult decision to amputate.

Processing her new reality took time, but then something shifted.

“It just clicked,” she said. “It was nothing but God, and from that moment on, I’ve been thankful.”

Through every stage of her recovery, MRC’s Orthotics and Prosthetics division was by her side—at her hospital bedside, during her first prosthetic fitting, and beyond.

“I wouldn’t be here without them,” she said.

Now, Arledge is inspiring the next generation. She coaches first- and second-graders in the Upward Basketball league at First Baptist Church in Philadelphia, Mississippi, using her experience to teach more than just the game.

“My number one lesson for them is to keep God first and to never give up,” she said. “I’ve learned that you just have to put one foot in front of the other.”

Many traits come to mind when picturing an athletic coach - dedication, leadership, and resilience.

For Patrick Schoolar, resilience has taken on a unique meaning as a coach who has thrived with a prosthetic leg.

After a hunting accident led to the amputation of his leg, Patrick Schoolar had only one option: to live like nothing ever happened.

"It's not like it will grow back, so there is no point in me waiting for it to happen," he said.

Schoolar's recovery journey brought him to Methodist Rehabilitation Center and later to Methodist Orthotics and Prosthetics in Flowood, where he received his prosthetic.

"I'm able to live my life, be a coach, and be a family man without hesitation with the help of Methodist Orthotics and Prosthetics," said Schoolar.
