Big smiles and even bigger wins in our community! 💙

UNC Health Lenoir Outpatient Pediatric Physical Therapy is teaming up with the Greater Fayetteville Chapter of National AMBUCS to bring adaptive tricycles to individuals of all ages right here in our community.

Meet Tykalah, an 18-year-old with cerebral palsy who loves traveling and spending time outdoors. She’s now the proud recipient of a Paceline 16 Amtryke, giving her the freedom to ride alongside her family and explore her world in a whole new way! 🚲✨

A special shout-out to Leslie Burton, Pediatric Physical Therapist, for helping make this moment possible. Your dedication is changing lives in such meaningful ways!

These incredible Amtrykes are specially designed to help children and adults with disabilities build strength, improve balance and coordination, and most importantly, enjoy the independence and joy of riding.

Thanks to the dedication of the Greater Fayetteville Chapter and generous community support, these life-changing trikes are made available at little to no cost for those who need them.

Congratulations to Zeke Moseley (Physical Therapy), Candace Jackson (Care Management), and JoAna Dakin (Operating Room), our March President's Service Excellence Award recipients! We are so lucky to have you all on our team!

Excerpt from Zeke's recognition: “Zeke began his physical therapy journey as a student at UNC Health Lenoir and later chose to pursue employment here, demonstrating his commitment to serving the Kinston community and surrounding areas. Over the past four years, he has gained experience across outpatient therapy, inpatient rehabilitation, and acute care. Zeke frequently researches conditions related to his patients’ impairments so he can better support their recovery, and he believes that a good laugh is often some of the best medicine for both patients and colleagues.”

Excerpt from Candace's recognition: “Candace works diligently each day to ensure patients are discharged with the most appropriate and effective post-acute support to help them successfully transition back to their daily routines. She collaborates closely with members of the interdisciplinary team to identify and address patient needs throughout their hospital stay.
Candace takes a proactive approach in gathering the information needed to coordinate care and works hard to build and maintain strong relationships not only within the hospital, but also with post-acute services and community providers.”

Excerpt from JoAna's recognition: “JoAna “Dom” has shown exceptional dedication and initiative in her role as a Surgical Technologist, playing an important part in the successful launch and support of DaVinci robotic surgery cases. Her commitment to learning, problem-solving, and teamwork has been key in bringing this advanced surgical technology to both our patients and our surgical teams. Through careful preparation, strong attention to detail, and a thorough understanding of robotic instrumentation and workflows, Dom has helped ensure that robotic procedures are performed safely and efficiently.”
