🌎 Happy Earth Day!

This year, we’re doing more than just thinking green, we’re growing native plants.🪴

Through a cHOP grant the plastic surgery team embraced winter sowing to get a head start on spring and build mindfulness, connection and well-being. We transformed empty milk jugs into mini-greenhouses, filling them with native seeds that will thrive on their own before being planted in our home garden. 🌸✨

It’s a low-cost, low-energy way to start seeds while recycling!

In May 2025, pharmacist Nick Selby stood on the top of the world.
The experienced mountaineer had successfully summited Mount Everest. On his way down from the peak, Nick suffered frostbite to his fingers that would require treatment.
Back at home in Shelbyville, he was referred to Dr. Tim Daugherty, a plastic surgeon who specializes in reconstructive hand surgery at the Institute for Plastic Surgery at SIU.
