10 A.M. – 2 P.M.
Erin's Pavilion (4965 S. 2nd Street, Springfield, IL 62703)
On June 8, Springfield Clinic and Hanger Clinic invite all individuals with limb loss or limb difference to join us for a day of fun and community! Enjoy adaptive activities like running, biking, wheelchair basketball, painting, yoga, and more. Prosthetists, physicians, chiropractors, and physical and occupational therapists will be on-site to provide support and services.
This 2nd annual event will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Erin's Pavilion (4965 S. 2nd Street, Springfield, IL 62703). The day will include opportunities to try out prosthetic components like running feet, patient education from our care providers and a food truck.
“Providing opportunities for those with limb loss or limb difference allows them to find how they can engage in the activities they loved before,” says Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Dr. Gary Stover with Springfield Clinic. “We are excited to provide new ways to engage in these activities and help people find their new hobby or reignite a previous interest.”
“As a local prosthetic care provider in the Springfield community, we know how critical finding ways to adapt hobbies and sports is for our patients’ holistic well-being,” said Hanger Clinic’s Chad Knapp, CPO. “Events like this are also critical in helping amputees connect with their community and find peer support.”
Dr. Stover and Chad Knapp will be available from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for interviews and questions from the media.
