Our annual Year in Review book is part 'thank you note' to our patients and communities, and part 'time capsule' to remember our impact.
As we reflect back on 2019, especially in the middle of a tumultuous year, we realize how much we have to be grateful for. We're surrounded by incredible people who simply want to make a difference for others, and thanks to all of you -- the future is bright.

#TestimonialTuesday 📷 by Jim Todd: My son was a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army, stationed in Honolulu, when he suffered a severe knee injury. He had 2 unsuccessful surgeries over 2 years in the Army and was eventually medically retired.
My son was extremely active prior to his injury, but after the injury and surgeries, he was left unable to do the things he enjoyed. Just a casual walk was painful and difficult.
After some extensive research, we found Dr. Robert LaPrade and TCO. We made the trip to Minnesota, had a successful surgery and one week’s worth of physical therapy, and then returned to South Carolina.
Fast forward 8 weeks, and my son is walking pain free, once again optimistic about his future, looking forward to resuming an active life, and pursuing his post-military career.
The thank you list is extensive, and I’ll surely miss someone. Let’s just say it is most definitely a team effort, and Dr. LaPrade and his entire team were a Godsend. Thank you for giving him back the quality of life he deserves!

#TestimonialTuesday 📸 by Grace K: It's been three months since my hip surgery, and I can finally sit in butterfly!!! 🦋
This journey has been hard, I'm not going to lie. It feels like it's been forever since I was able to dance, but in reality, three months is not that long.
I've been able to teach, but I still won't be cleared to dance for a few more months. In the meantime, I'm going to physical therapy (I'm down to only once a week now!) and working on strength, mobility, and stability. My physical therapists Emily and Jenna at TCO are phenomenal, and I actually really enjoy working with them (even though they make me do stuff that doesn't feel very good sometimes 😅).
Hopefully everything just keeps getting better from here! Thank you, TCO 😃

Humbled by this recognition and grateful to everyone who makes TCO special.
Recently, ICF Minnesota awarded TCO the Prism Award for Excellence in Coaching, their highest honor for organizations that demonstrate how their coaching initiatives have addressed key goals, shaped organizational culture, and yielded discernible and measurable positive impacts.
A special thank you to Good Leadership Enterprises and its CEO Paul Batz (pictured) for their executive leadership coaching support. New initiatives were launched, leaders became more efficient, and most importantly, the patient experience improved.
We all know wrestlers are tough....but Stillwater’s Reid Ballantyne is next level.
