A holiday message from the "O.M.T."


(Picture from "TheFamousPeople.com")


We hope that the 2023 Holiday Season brings you Glad Tidings and many blessings with family and friends!


In recognition of the holidays - we have found this excerpt from the AOA in 1986: An Osteopathic rendition of "'Twas the night before Christmas"


"'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through Kirksville

Not a creature was stirring, except old A.T. Still.

His children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of skeletons danced in their heads.

With Mrs. A.T. in her hospital gown, and he in skull cap,

They settled their brains for a long winter's nap.

When up from the kitchen there arose such a clatter,

He sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the stairs he flew like a flash,

Tore into the pantry, grabbed the phone in a dash.

"My hubby, Santa, is aching," said his poor distressed spouse.

"How will he visit the children tonight, if his muscles are spasm'd

and he's bent over tight?"

"Just send him over," said Uncle A.T. ,

"And I'll do a treatment with my OMT."".....


....The Poem continues on "Linkedin" here:

Educational Opportunities

Osteopathic Heritage Foundations celebrates 25 years!

Osteopathic Heritage Foundations Reaches Milestone


In 1998, the asset sale of the Doctors Hospital system to OhioHealth provided an influx of funds into the renamed Osteopathic Heritage Foundations. Over the past 25 years, the Foundations have approved more than $260 million in funding awards to over 580 organizations, advancing a mission to improve health and quality of life in the community through education, research and service consistent with its osteopathic heritage.
