October Update for ETP at ish Rite in Dallas, Texas.

Hi all,

continues to be very busy, but wanted to update you on the exciting

things accomplished at the ETP. Out of approximately 120-140 medical

professionals in attendance, 50 of them were pediatric orthopedic surgeons from

the United States and abroad.

The team from SLC played a crucial role at this ETP. By sharing their

experience with Early Treatment they showed the validity of this mode of

treatment. Many professionals stated that they were inspired to adopt Early

Treatment programs in their hospitals. Already, six locations have requested

help from ISOP to begin Early Treatment programs. SLC also spoke concerning

their experience with children who missed the window to benefit from ET. They

informed the audience of the role that casting and other non-surgical treatments

such as the halo, can play in gaining correction and buying necessary growing

time before a definitive plan is decided.

ish Rite was the best location ISOP could have asked for. They have a

huge, world renowned facility where numerous doctors train every year in

various fellowships to further their medical education. This ETP exposed the

next generation of pediatric orthopedic surgeons to all Early Treatment can do!

The staff of ish Rite is totally on board and committed to being a center

of excellence for ET. They were all very respectful, receptive, and excited!

will be flying out tomorrow to attend HOPEFEST in Virginia. The event

is Saturday. will be one of the speakers there. from SKA

(Australia) is with her. She enjoyed seeing snow for the first time as

took her up a mountain! Please pray for them both as they travel. Pray also

for their kids. And finally, pray for and everyone behind this wonderful

fundraising/awareness event.

I will update you further as I get info. will give us a big update once

she is back from Virginia.

Thanks,

Shellie Grant
