Nurses Week gives us the perfect moment to celebrate two people who keep our days grounded and our care elevated.

We’re recognizing Shade Ballard and Bastian Lassus‑Gomez, our CMAs who truly do it all — rooming, prepping, supporting, troubleshooting, and stepping in wherever the day takes them. And they do it with a smile, a calm presence, and a steadiness that lifts our entire practice.

Their consistency and compassion strengthen our team and help us deliver the kind of care our patients count on. We’re grateful for everything they bring to our Penn Sports Medicine family!

Consistency is what truly moves you forward, not perfection. When you fuel your body with intention most of the time, you create space for both progress and real life. The 80/20 mindset keeps your habits sustainable, your goals realistic, and your relationship with food balanced. Give yourself grace and keep showing up for yourself.

Celebrating a standout accomplishment in our Chester County community; Kiernan Clark, son of Clinical Athletic Trainer Matthew Clark, has officially broken the Pennsylvania state record for career saves in boys lacrosse. Kiernan was further supported by Oxford AT Caitlyn Wilmot; providing trusted care throughout the season and traveling to celebrate Kieran's accomplishment. Records are broken by athletes, but they’re made possible by families, teammates, and the professionals who support them every step of the way.

: Meet Keana Flowers, one of our dedicated outreach athletic trainers whose journey into the profession began with her own experience as an injured athlete. After developing stress fractures in high school and working closely with her athletic trainer during recovery, she discovered the path she wanted to pursue.

A Berks County native, she went on to earn both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from West Chester University, where she stayed deeply involved through the WCU Dance Team, Athletic Training Club, WCU Dance Company, and the Golden Rams Society.

Today, she brings that same energy and empathy to her work—supporting athletes through every stage of injury and celebrating the moment they return to the sport they love. Outside of work, she enjoys dance, working out, hot yoga, and spending time with family and friends.

Her supervisor says:
“Keana’s combination of kindness, clinical knowledge, and professionalism makes her an exceptional addition to both our team and the Eastern Lancaster County community. In her second year at Garden Spot, her expertise and calm demeanor have already made a significant impact. We are grateful for the thoughtful, behind‑the‑scenes work she does every day to ensure her athletes have the support they need to thrive.”
