Happy September IEM!
We mourn and remember such an amazing soul who touched the lives of so many of us here at IEM. Lets use this time to reflect on his remarkable contributions, share stories of his caring spirit, and support one another in our shared loss.
Inspired by You!
Each month we choose a patient who we feel represents the mission of Inspire Exercise Medicine. A person who exemplifies hard work and dedication to our program. Alicen Schoolmeester is our nominee for September ’24.
“I am Alicen Schoolmeester. I am honored to be the spotlight person for the month of September 2024. I truly believe Inspire Exercise Medicine (IEM) has helped me instrumentally in my recovery of my cancer journey. When I first discovered that I had cancer my treatment plan was to go through Inspire Oncology for radiation and simultaneously do chemotherapy for six weeks and then Brachytherapy. It was during this time I started Inspire Exercise Medicine through Dr. Nakfoor at Inspire Oncology.”
"It is not length of life, but depth of life." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
We invite you to join us in celebrating and honoring the extraordinary life of Matt Mickey, whose dedication and compassion made a profound difference in the lives of countless patients.
