A hands-on skills session was held at the Upper Front Street clinic on Saturday, April 18th, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Representation from all six sites was present, with a total attendance of 41 clinicians.

The session was presented by Benjamin Dvorsky, DPT, OCS, and Dr. Herbst, DO, and focused on “Elevating Every Shoulder — Surgical or Not — to Stronger Outcomes.” The training provided valuable opportunities to enhance patient outcomes through focused education and hands-on techniques aimed at improving manual skills.

The clinicians’ strong commitment to showing up, sharpening their skills, and learning together speaks volumes about the high standard of practice upheld at UHS Outpatient Physical Therapy. Collaboration across sites fostered shared learning and reinforced clinical excellence, further elevating the quality and consistency of patient care delivered throughout the department.

We had a great time at Windsor Central High School on Friday for UHS Rotation Day as part of their Career Pathway Program!

Matt and Sierra connected with nearly 75 students, sharing what a career in Physical Therapy and as a PTA looks like—covering college pathways, what we do at UHS, and some hands-on demos.

It was awesome to showcase the technology we use and see so much interest from the students. Always rewarding to help the next generation explore careers in healthcare!

Playoff atmosphere at Black Bears Arena was on full display. The energy, the pace, and a big first-round win for the Black Bears made for a great night.

Our Sports Medicine team was right there alongside them—focused, prepared, and ready to support the athletes every step of the way. From start to finish, it’s all about helping them stay at their best when it matters most.

Proud to be part of it. Looking forward to next weekend.

Let’s go, Black Bears!

Today our UHS Sports Performance team got together at the new Upper Front Street clinic for a weightlifting in-service.

It was a great chance to learn from each other, get better, and spend time as a group. Days like this remind us how important it is to keep growing so we can give our athletes the best possible support.

Everything we worked on today goes right back to the athletes we serve—helping them stay strong, perform at a high level, and stay healthy both on and off the field.

Grateful for this team and the work we’re putting in.

This Occupational Therapy Month, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank Isaac for his incredible dedication and impact over the past 7+ years with UHS.

Isaac’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. After experiencing a life-changing accident that resulted in the loss of multiple limbs, he has continued to push forward with strength, resilience, and determination. Not only does he prioritize his own health and fitness, but he uses his experience to empower and uplift those around him every single day.

His perspective brings a level of understanding, empathy, and motivation that truly changes lives. Isaac is a reminder that obstacles can be transformed into purpose, and his work continues to make a lasting difference for so many patients and colleagues alike.

Thank you, Isaac, for your unwavering commitment, your strength, and the inspiration you bring to our team and community. We are grateful to have you as part of our UHS team!
