Thank You For Making This Year’s Drive a Great Success

Since its doors opened 17 years ago OSR PhysicalTherapy has had a “serving others”mind-set that is leadby itsowners Aaron and Kori Williams. That mind-set carries over to the quality of care they delivery to their patients through the Physical Therapy services they provide, but equally as important and intentional is for OSR to be an agent of change in the communities they serve. Last year, 2018, had a record 181 deaths due to dehydration.These181deathsoccurred in ourhomelessandhomeboundpopulation. Thiscreatedaheightensenseofurgency for OSR to increase both our water bottle donations and our ability educate those in our spheres of influence to this tragic statistic.The difference between life and deathof these lost lives issimplyabottle of water, hard to image…We however are fortunate to have a great number of past patientswecall the “OSRArmy”whohave responded with donations and who we educate/inform about dehydration and the effects it has on them personally and on our homeless and homebound community. We also canvased the valley medicalofficeswithmonthlynewsletters and office visits to inform them of the

impact of dehydration and the local need and how OSR donates a case of water for every patient we see over the summer months. We are only a part of theequation though,ourpartnershipwith both Salvation Army and St. Mary’s Food Bankcompletes thecycleofaction.These two great organizations warehouse and distribute the water to dozens of local groups, many which are faith based that are imbedded in the community and are the hands that hand off this life giving water to the thirsty of our ever growing city, we call home. We at OSR have a saying “Goal - ZERO” Zero deaths due to dehydration. And by educating thousands of our physician offices, past and current patients, it’s our hopesandprayer that thisyear,2019,gets us close to that number “Zero”. We were blessed to be able to donate more bottled water this year than last. The total donated was 35,448 bottles of water going to both the Salvation Army and St. Mary’s Food Bank. Stay Hydrated!
