All of us at Sauk Prairie Healthcare are honored and humbled when our joint replacement patients are able to get back to life and what they love to do. In past years, many of our patients have demonstrated their quality of life by walking in the annual Cow Chip 5K Challenge.
This year was no exception, as 25 patients who recently had a joint (typically a hip or knee) replaced at Sauk Prairie Healthcare participated in the walk. In exchange for showing their stuff, the Foundation reimbursed patients for their registration fee.
Todd Wuerger, Executive Director of the Foundation, said, “I’m always hopeful that our joint replacement patients had a positive experience at Sauk Prairie Healthcare. We are very proud of our beautiful hospital, and our caring, competent team. But it’s when our patients get well and are able to live life to the fullest that we experience the most pride and satisfaction. By walking in the Cow Chip 5K, these folks demonstrate to us how we were able to help them improve their quality of life.”
