The Arthritis Walk
On Saturday, May 7, 2011, Team OSS participated in the Arthritis Walk to raise funds for the Arthritis foundation. Team OSS consisted of over 35 OSS employees and their families, including their four-legged kids. Team OSS raised over $1100. Big thank you to the team for their efforts and their participation. Go Team OSS!
Haiti Disaster Relief
OSS physician, Dr. Gracia Etienne, was born and raised in Haiti. Following the devastating earthquake, Dr. Etienne has been traveling to Port au Prince to provide medical care to those in need. Many OSS patients have asked how to make a donation to assist with the disaster relief efforts. We thank you for your support and concern.
There are two options that OSS is recommending. Dr. Etienne developed a nonprofit charitable foundation called MIVO (Mission Volontaire) to help improve the lives of those less priveleged. The vision is to build an orthopaedic hospital in Haiti to make this care more accessible. If you wish to make a donation to MIVO, please make a check payable to the MIVO Foundation and mail it to MIVO Charitable Foundation, 6331 Salem Run Road, Dover, PA 17315. MIVO is mobilizing all resources possible to help. Be assured that your help will 100% be dedicated to this cause.
The Red Cross is taking donations via www.redcross.org. They are dedicated to ensuring that the funds will go directly to Haiti to provide for their needs and to help rebuild the city. There are also opportunities to volunteer and give blood with this organization.
Thank you again for your support. Your generosity is appreciated.

My toes are all pointing in the same direction
Dear Dr. Pollack,
I am writing to express my thanks and appreciation for the wonderful treatment from you and all of the fine people working both in your office as well as the OSS Hospital. From the very beginning of my foot surgery on February 14th, including the subsequent follow-up services, I have been given personal, reassuring and friendly care from all of the professionals in your organization.
Having performed as a Quality Assurance Evaluator for over 40 years, I am very pleased with the way virtually all of your staff appeared to enjoy giving me superior attention and comfort. I didn’t want to provide names for fear of missing someone. Please share this note with everyone.
Very Sincerely,
Bill
P.S. It’s really nice to look down and see my toes all pointing in the same direction!
My wrist and hand are 99.9% back to normal
From Julia in Wrightsville
Posted April 5, 2011
It has been over a year since Dr. Sicuranza did my carpal tunnel surgery, and I can’t express enough gratitude for the great work that he has done. It was a hard decision for me to make since many people told me that I would be sorry, but this is not the case at all. My wrist and hand are 99.9% back to normal, and I have no pain or discomfort. I have recommended OSS to many and of course Dr. Sicuranza as well.
THANK YOU.
