Helping community members live healthier lives is core to the mission of The Orthopedic & Sports Institute of the
Fox Valley (OSI).
"Partnering with the marathon is a way
to help our community," said CEO
Curt Kubiak
. "We believe there’s no
reason the Fox Cities can’t be the
healthiest region in the country."
OSI sponsors the Relay Marathon and the Race Medical Director
Dr. Mark Westfall.
Plus, OSI employees have a strong volunteer presence on the course and finish line, as well as a large contingent of employees taking part in the races.
"Simply put, the event weekend is a focal point on our calendar," said
Dr. Todd Derksen
.
Community Program Director
Courtney Vosters
added, "One of the great things about the Relay is the team building from different businesses that have gotten involved, seeing friendly competitions between friends / husband & wife teams, and to see the friendships and connections that have developed because of this amazing event."
Preparations for this year's event started at the conclusion of last year's marathon, shared Westfall, "As every runner knows, careful and thorough preparation can pay extraordinary dividends on race day. A simple mindset, with a focus on meticulous preparation can result in the best
–
and safest
–
event possible."
Continued support is easy for the OSI team, "This event is extremely powerful," said
Tammy Williams
, COO. "It shines a light on our communities and the spirit of volunteerism that is so strong in our state. The event weekend takes a tremendous effort from everyone involved, and every year it is a success. We are proud to be a part of
the team."
OSI has seven locations in Northeast Wisconsin. It is the realization of a concept. What would orthopedic care look like if designed from the ground up around the patient, their experience, and their end goal? The result is a truly unique model for muscle, bone, spine, and joint care.
Thank you OSI for your continued support of the Fox Cities Marathon!
