❄️ October is over, which means Coloradans are gearing up for ski season!

For lifelong snowboarder and Denver Health patient Bob Klein, that was not always possible. After ten years of living with knee arthritis and pain, staying active and doing the things he enjoyed became increasingly difficult. A double knee replacement performed by Denver Health orthopedic surgeon Mark Hammerberg, MD, at our Orthopedic Center of Excellence changed that. Now Bob is back to carving turns and doing what he loves most. 🏂

🥾🌄 This weekend, Denver Health was proud to sponsor Hike MS: Colorado at Winter Park Resort, hosted by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Hundreds of passionate hikers came together to raise funds and awareness for multiple sclerosis.

With routes ranging from 2 to 9 miles, there was a trail for everyone, including many furry friends🐾, to join the movement to end MS. Together, we helped the National MS Society get closer to its $275,000 goal to support life-changing research and services for those affected by the disease.

💪 Huge thanks to everyone who hiked, volunteered and showed up in support of this cause, every step made a difference.

Do you find yourself struggling to open a jar? Your grip might be telling you more than you think. Studies show that grip strength can predict your heart health, mobility, independence and even longevity.

“Grip strength is a simple and powerful predictor for general health and quality of life,” said Denver Health physical therapist Maegan Olivos, PT, DPT, MPH.

The good news? You don’t need a gym or special equipment to improve it. Just a few minutes and a can of soup can go a long way. 🥫 💪
