☀️ Missouri brought the heat, and now the rain is here too. Slippery steps, sore backs, and rolled ankles are all too common this time of year.
We partner with the HURT! app so you can get fast, virtual orthopedic care when you need it. OSMC clinics are closed on weekends, but the HURT! app is always open.

Please join us in celebrating an incredible milestone for one of our own at OSMC! Today we honor Bob Hartigan, who has dedicated 35 years of service to our patients, physicians, and community. Bob began his journey with OSMC working alongside Dr. Bill Humphreys for 29 of those years! Dr Humphreys said they were a “match made in heaven” (and Bob agreed)!
Thank you Bob for 35 remarkable years, you are truly one of a kind! We are so grateful for all you have brought to OSMC!

Our clinics will be closed on Friday, July 4 🇺🇸 so our team can enjoy the holiday. We’ll reopen on Monday to continue offering walk-in orthopedic care in St. Joseph and Platte City.
If joint pain or an injury slows you down this weekend, you can still get support through the HURT! app 📱. It’s a fast, easy way to connect with orthopedic care, even when we’re closed.

Your care team is just steps apart.
At OSMC, our Rehab & Therapy clinic is right across the parking lot from your orthopedic surgeon. That means better communication, quicker updates, and more connected care so you can focus on healing.

“Drew was very attentive and kind. He made me feel heard and explained everything in great detail.”
We love hearing stories like this from first-time patients—especially when they highlight not only our providers like Drew Cottrill, PA-C, but also the amazing front desk staff who make every visit smoother. 💙
