Some Brevard Public Schools employees had been delaying hip, knee, and other necessary surgeries because of hidden costs and high deductibles. BPS sought a solution to alleviate the financial burden and offer their employees high-quality surgical care. They found SurgeryPlus.
This partnership has been a resounding success. Take a look at some of these eye-opening stats:
💲– $7+ million saved
🚗 – 98.9% of members were able to drive to their procedure
📈 – 4.74x ROI
One employee of BPS called SurgeryPlus life transforming after she had surgery to relieve a decade of pain.

Three years ago, I fell on a hike and suffered an acute fracture of my right humerus (that's the arm bone and there was nothing funny about it) at the shoulder. It was during the COVID shutdown and I am ever grateful to the two hiking groups that helped me and my dog down the mountain, UCSF Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Dr. Benjamin Ma for putting me back together, Dr. Jonathan Hodax at Virginia Mason Franciscan Health in Seattle for managing my follow-up care and suggesting a non-surgical intervention when the bone was not healing as planned, and the friends and family that supported my rather long road to recovery.
My goal was to eventually return to turning cartwheels, at least once a year. It's a tradition that has been with me and select members of my family. For us, it celebrates bravery, an ageless mindset, joy, and change of perspective.
Today, I was brave and turned 3 cartwheels. One for every year I missed.
What's your metaphor and how does it guide you? Love to hear in the comments.

As advocates for women's health, our mission extends beyond raising awareness about individual well-being. It encompasses shedding light on the remarkable strides in innovation by many #femtech companies within the often-overlooked domain of pelvic health. By emphasizing these advancements, we not only empower women with knowledge about their health but also inspire a collective push towards improved health outcomes.
A 2-year clinical trial published last year in JAMA explores the efficacy of pessary therapy versus surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. A serious pelvic health serious issue that affects 50% of women over their lifetime. While patient-reported improvements were similar between the two, it fell short of the noninferiority endpoint.
💡 Insights and Updates:
These findings challenged the earlier 1-year results, emphasizing the need for ongoing research. Something that is severly lacking in women's health across the board.
🌐 Advancements in Women's Pelvic Health:
Shockingly, many gynecological prosthetics, like off-the-shelf pessaries, have roots dating back to 1,800 BCE!! That is until companies like Cosm Medical began revolutionizing this field with Gynethotics™—the world's first personalized gynecological prosthetics, bringing innovation after 50 years!
We can, and must do better in supporting women's health, because a healthier society and economy benefits everyone.

Life is precious. And we believe anyone born with CHD deserves a full and healthy life. One spent outside of the hospital, free from physical limitations. Currently, 1 in every 10 children with CHD die before reaching adulthood. Though there are some treatment options available, surgery is not a cure. We can defeat CHD, but we need you. Join hands - and hearts - to grow a heart with us!

Imagine a 17-year-old, vibrant and active, whose life took a drastic turn during a basketball game. An unexpected accident left him with a compression fracture of the spine, requiring immediate medical attention and a two-level fusion surgery. Initially, the settlement discussions were based solely on the immediate costs, but what about the future?
Thomas Pontinen, M.D. highlights the critical importance of comprehensive life care planning in such cases. Beyond the initial bills, considerations such as future medical needs, additional surgeries, therapies, and ongoing care must be factored in. By incorporating a thorough life care plan, the settlement increased from the proposed million to a significant 2.4 million, ensuring the young man's long-term needs were accounted for.
This underscores the vital role that experts like Dr. Pontinen play in ensuring fair and comprehensive care for individuals. Life care planning isn't just about the present; it's about securing a brighter, more supported future for those in need.
