Dr. Matthew Carty was able to save the nerves in Tammy’s leg by performing an innovative procedure known as the #Ewing amputation. Last night, Tammy was honored with the @celtics Hero Among Us Award for her inspiration and committment to overcoming adversity. #SteppingStrong
Tammy Jerome lost her leg to an infection, but her doctor at the Stepping Strong foundation saved the nerves, allowing her to return to physical activity!
To pay it forward, our @MAStateLottery#HeroAmongUs began running road races to raise awareness & money for the foundation!
"The LUKE arm advances the science of prosthetics for its level of intuitive control that more closely recreates human motion with an artificial limb." ~ @BusinessNHMag
Our patient Tammy had so much fun skiing at Sunapee recently. She exclaimed: "It was all worth it today, even staying at the bottom of the mountain. Thank you for giving me this gift back!!"
Certified Prosthetist Ian Gray ran in the Journey Home 5k over Veterans Day weekend along with Next Step patients Tammy Jerome & Courtney (Corey) Rauch. Ian also wore Corey's 20lb bullet proof vest for the run!

For the hilly sections, accept the fact it may be a bit slower than the flat or downhill parts. Don’t let it get you down!
Always remember - each step is that much closer to the finish and your goal!
