I
f Eleanor isn’t moving, she isn’t happy.
There’s skiing, wakeboarding, rock climbing,
and the more down to earth activities like
biking to the store. When she needed
surgery on her ankle, she was worried.
She came to UTMB Health and benefited
from a multidisciplinary team of surgeons,
doctors, nurses, and physical therapists
who knew that Eleanor needed aggressive
treatment to return to her active lifestyle.
They kept her informed at every step. “I’m
a Nurse Practitioner. I practice what I preach
about staying active and healthy. When it
came time for rehab, the people here made
sure I stayed with the plan. You get out of it
what you put in.”
Today, Eleanor is back to her old tricks,
which also happened to include kicking up
her heels and dancing at a friend’s wedding.
Whether it’s working in ortho, neuro, or
any aspect of the musculoskeletal system,
UTMB has gifted clinicians. These are the
doctors and surgeons who teach others
their art, using the very latest equipment,
technology and techniques.
It’s about getting your life back.Your life.
Whether that means gardening, hiking,
fishing, playing guitar, typing on a keyboard,
extreme sports or just lifting your grandkids,
our team is ready to return you to the things
you love to do.
If something isn’t right, do what Eleanor did.
