Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.
It is time now for our community connection right here on K one,
the one you trust. We've got our friends in here from Elder Karen,
Elder Care's Foundation Therapy, We've got the Josh, and we have Miss Julie
in here. I guess we're going to talk about barbecue and contortion. To
you rate, I think that's what we're going to talk about again, Tom,
Thanks for having us, Thanks for the time. All right, first
up, let's do a little barbecue. Okay. We are just about two
weeks out from the Good, the Bad, and the Barbecue, May eleventh.
It's time to buy your tickets. I think we sold fifteen of them
yesterday just so as I was standing at the desk. So tickets are going.
We're in preparation mode. All the details are being checked off the list
and it's going to be a great, great time. This is going to
be at the Huge Ranch, right, It's going to be at the Huge
Ranch, May eleventh. Dinner starts at six. We do have a VIP
opportunity that starts at fourth thirty, or you can tour the main house.
There's beautiful artwork, just some really amazing Western pieces in there, and then
we'll kick it off with with dinner. Dinks will be doing our barbecue because
it is the good, the bad, and the barbecue. You can't do
barbecue with that. Dinks around here for server, so thankful for them.
And then we will have our silent auction, our live auction. We were
going to have a bourbon toss, horseshoe toss and wine and bourbon, and
then we are going to have to go wrong. And then we'll have a
look of a draw which is one hundred dollars. One hundred people will buy
a hundred dollar ticket and they'll have a one and a hundred tance to win
a great trip of their choice. So it's going to be it's gonna yes,
you're one person could buy out ten thousand. Yeah, yeah, that's
what I said the other day. I think that's a that's a good deal.
Yeah. And then we're going to have the Clydesdale's there and then Jacob,
Yes, I've seen a Clydesdale. My kids have seen in Clydesdale and
they think I was quite huge. That's what I'm Two of them, two
of them, and then Jacob Tobar out of Tulsa is going to help us
dance the night away after we raise a whole bunch of money for elder care.
He's really he's a really good put your boots on, your best Western
attire join us. It will be the party of the weekend for sure,
and we're looking forward to hosting everybody. Joshua's cooking out there at the Foundation.
I just wanted to say before at that silent auction. I've used this
for the last couple of years. It's a great opportunity, being the day
before Mother's Day to shop around and find something you can ask my mom.
I have purchased something there benefit the last two years for this, and it's
a battle if you're going for what I'm going for. Scott's on the list.
Artwork is on the list, some barbecue things are on the list.
Vacation Mama wants a vacation. Yeah, we might have that too. We
can't get aways. We've got some airbnbs, We've got some really fun experience.
Is good stuff there, Yeah, but a foundation, There's there's a
lot of stuff going on. Actually, this the last month in March,
we had the most referrals we've ever had, and good news travels, so
things are things are really picking up, and I think this month we're going
to have we're gonna be able to serve the most patients we've ever served in
a month, and we're going to try to We're looking like we might have
over seven hundred patients, so and when you think about that, it's like
staying within the core values of being one on one. That's seven hundred hours
of one on one patient care, So that's awesome. We've had a couple
of our therapists, Rachel Johnson, just went and got certified in dry needling,
something we've never offered in the past. With kind of our expanding services
and expanding age ranges, we serve adults of all ages, so sometimes we
have folks that come in with athletic injuries, and I think adding dry needling
to the possibilities of treatment is going to be a great thing. Other another
therapist, Jessica Keith, is going to go get certified in women's health.
We're going to start a women's health program public floor therapy, which is something
that is not new but not widely available, so it's it's gonna be a
big, big service to to Bartlesville to have that available here. M Yeah,
I'm familiar with that because I would have to travel to Tulsa to do
that, which is similar to why I was that elder care and why this
is so personal to me to have, you know, Josh and his staff
and just the resources available here in Bartlesville. Some of them are very rare
and very unique to our area. Otherwise we've got to travel down to Tulsa,
and that's hard for people to do. That's really hard. Yeah,
you know, if you've got it right here in your own backyard, it's
a lot easier, and it's great. It's always better, always best to
stay home when you can, right, you know. Yeah, the drawing
needly, that's interesting. I had a frozen's shoulder in that. What is
that? By the way, it sounds kind of like, you know,
get moving. You know, we're using very similar needles to acupuncture, and
they're either directly addressing trigger points or they're kind of using the needle to kind
of almost inspire a neurological response for your body to heal itself. So we
are using acupuncture type needles of varying links and varying pages to kind of either
addressed directly the problem or have your body kind of respond to the needle and
release all the healing proteins that it needs to release in It's incredible. That
sounds really cool that seems are doing that now. So we're looking to add
more therapists to be able to do that in the future. So amazing,
amazing. You know, there are a lot of people who take advantage of
what you got going on out there, and their stories are pretty darn good.
My mother had difficulty walking and she did. She gets around pretty darn
well now for eighty three I think thanks to just a little bit of work
that she was able to do while she was down here in our area before
moving back to Indiana. And she says that she can't find anybody that's just
nice. I am, well, it's so fun to walk in there.
And so it's just a referral to you guys forst speech therapy, occupational therapy,
and physical therapy, right can they call? And on the physical therapy
side, you can you can come in without a referral. So you can
just call us at nine seven six six zero three nine one. I like
it all and we can we'll schedule you. We have about a third of
the people come in that way without a referral. And I think anybody who's
had a concussion, has any type of brain injury, they need to be
I mean, they need a little I think a lot of people think of
physical therapy and even occupational therapy as something that you do in response to an
injury, and there's a lot of things that you can do to proactively prevent
an injury. So at the you know, the if you're noticing yourself being
a little bit unbalanced, or you feel, you know, a little bit
dizzy or whatever, yeah, there's things that we can do to address it.
And even if even if it's just you coming in to get a baseline
measure of where you're at so that we can compare it in the future because
we keep track of all that stuff. So those are always opportunities. And
Eldercare provides us with the building that's really easily accessible. It's you know,
it's all on the same floor. You have the ability after you get done
with therapy to continue and work out in our facility just like a gym,
as part of our aftercare program. So a lot of people utilize that.
So I think that when they think of physical therapy clinic. They think,
Oh, I hurt my shoulder and I just need to go in and then
I never have to do those exercises again. The reason why we we treat
adults of all ages is to kind of rest issues that we see in the
older population earlier, to kind of proactively prevent injury, keep keep the deterioration
away. That's right, you got to move. You've got to move,
and you know what you need to move to get your tickets to the big
demand the barbecues, so we can keep Foundation Therapy up and go anywhere I
love and some of the new services. That's exactly why we want to raise
this money. So at about eldercare dot org, forward slash BBQ, that's
where you can purchase your tickets online. You can also go into the beautiful
building right there at the front desk if you want to pay my check or
cash or just buy it in person right there at the front desk. Then
hey, Josh, he's usually tucked back there working hard all the equipment with
his patients and doing those emails. But it's really exciting that you know there's
going to be women's health in the clinic too, and carry over into physical
therapy. So a lot of news services are coming with the Community Health Clinic
as well, and so that's exactly why we want to support, support this
event and get elder Care the funds they need to continue to grow and expand
and take care of us. See, if we put the fun in fundraising,
like yeah, the barbecue, all things work out pretty darn well here
for eldercare absolutely absolutely and we're gonna have merch at the front desk. We've
got hats now, t shirts are on their way, So if you can't
come that night, we still would love for you to contribute in some way.
We're rounding up and finalizing our silent auction items, so if there's any
businesses out there. Our big sponsors DSR Phillip sixty six, Conico Phillips,
Intruity as well as Dinks and the radio station K one Outdoor and K one
Radio, those are our big, huge sponsors. They're really helping us prepare
for a great, great night. So it's gonna be a lot of fun
in the bourbon bar. I I mentioned like the horseshoe toss and bourbon and
then I was like, then the the bourbon bar, there's gonna be a
select bourbon bar there up the hill, like literally, when we're dancing the
night away. It's it's gonna be a fun, relaxing time in your eye.
Yes, the sh County Sheriffs will be up there making sure everybody's having
fine. Everybody's fine, everybody's fine. I want to thank you both for
coming in, for having us Tom, we're excited. Get those tickets all
right, thanks folks. We've got more coming up right here on game one. Wait
