✨ Moments like this remind us why we do what we do. When patients share their stories, it’s not just about recovery, it’s about resilience, trust, and the connection we build together.

We’re honored to walk alongside our patients on their journey and grateful for the chance to make a difference in the community we serve. 🧡

A couple of weeks ago, some of our sports medicine surgeons, physicians, and some of the team members from the Memorial Hermann Outreach team led “On-Field Management of the Injured Athlete” training for our Orthopedic Advanced Practice Providers (APPs).
Together, they prepared our APPs to support team doctors, physicians, athletic trainers, and coaches during high school football game coverage, providing immediate, expert care to athletes right on the field.
We are proud and honored to serve our community, and grateful for the teamwork that keeps our athletes safe, from the clinic to the operating room to the Friday night sidelines. 💪

We’re so far beyond proud! 💙

Help us celebrate Bob Marley, AT, who has been part of our family since 2009, on his induction into the Texas State Athletic Trainers Association Hall of Honor! Bob has been more than just a teammate, he’s been family. His dedication, leadership, and heart have touched so many lives over the years.

He said it best: “Being inducted into the Texas State Athletic Trainers Association Hall of Honor is a fantastic honor because it is decided by my Athletic Training colleagues and includes Athletic Trainers I have looked up to throughout my entire career. Acknowledgement by my professional family is the pinnacle of approval, and to be included into this group means even more in a state like Texas where there are more Athletic Trainers than in any other state.”

We are incredibly lucky to have Bob on our team. This honor couldn’t go to a more deserving person. 👏
