Today, we remember the brave Service Members from communities across Southeast Georgia and the rest of the United States, who gave their lives in service to our nation.

These names represent heroes, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, parents, family members, friends, neighbors, and loved ones whose sacrifice helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy every day.

On this Memorial Day, we honor all who paid the ultimate price in defense of our country and remember the families and communities forever changed by their loss.

May their courage, service, and sacrifice never be forgotten.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” — John 15:13

Honoring the Brave. Remembering the Fallen.

Please note that our office will be closed in observance of Memorial Day and will resume normal operations on Tuesday, 26 May 2026.

Your Bone & Joint family is proud to celebrate this special milestone with you both, and we can’t wait to see what your futures hold.

Last night, we were proud to support Wayne County High School Football with the donation of their new football tunnel! It was an honor working alongside Athletic Director Justin McDonald and Touchdown Club members Michael Lewis and Holly Lane to help bring this project to life for the Yellow Jackets program.

We hope this tunnel becomes part of many unforgettable Friday nights and lasting memories for the players, coaches, students, and community.

Wishing the Jackets a productive summer training camp and a great football season ahead. We can’t wait to cheer you on and support you from the sidelines this upcoming season.

GO JACKETS! 🐝🏈

Yesterday we were proud to partner with Liberty Family Medicine to provide free sports physicals for the student athletes of Long County Middle School!

Our team from Bone & Joint included Dr. Valosen, Kyle Deuter, PA, Brooke Dell, RN and Kristy Brown LPN, working alongside Liberty’s outstanding providers—Rebecca Shaver, PA, Shannon Hatmaker, FNP, and Carleigh Griner, FNP-C—to help ensure these students are healthy, safe, and ready for the upcoming sports season.

A big thank you to Athletic Director Andrew McAfree and supporting faculty for organizing such a smooth and well-coordinated event. We truly appreciate the opportunity to support our local students and their commitment to athletics.

Here’s to a safe and successful season for all the athletes!

We’re proud to support Anchored In Wellness and the Be Kind to Your Mind 5K. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful event that promotes both physical and mental well-being in our community. We’re honored to stand alongside you in making a difference.

We are incredibly grateful for our 2026 Be Kind To Your Mind Presenting Sponsors who are helping make the 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run possible 💙

Your support is more than a sponsorship—it’s a commitment to mental health in our community, and we couldn’t do this without you!

From our sponsors at Harris ACE Hardware and Building Supply:
“When the office staff participated in the Be Kind to Your Mind in 2025 for our first time, we all agreed that this was a worthy cause and we needed to be a sponsor in 2026. We count it an honor to be a Presenting Sponsor in 2026, and the office staff is again participating in the 5K. We can't wait!”

From our sponsors at Bone & Joint Institute Of South Georgia:
“The Bone & Joint Institute is proud to partner with Anchored In Wellness in support of the Be Kind to Your Mind 5K. At BJI, we believe true wellness includes caring for the mind as much as the body, and this event reflects our commitment to helping individuals stay active, resilient, and supported. Through this partnership, we are honored to help raise awareness for mental health and encourage our community to move, connect, and prioritize self-care. Together, we are building a healthier, stronger community inside and out.”

This is what it’s all about—real people showing up for mental health!

The Wayne County High School Wrestling Team is collecting donations today for those affected by the wildfires in Brantley County. Donations will be accepted from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at James E. Bacon Elementary School.

If you’re able to contribute, the team is on-site helping unload and prepare supplies for transport. It’s always inspiring to see our local student-athletes step up and support others in times of need.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted, and we’re hoping for a swift and full recovery for the community.
