Samaritan Healthcare | The Samaritan | Winter 2018

Winter 2018 7 Bold roots In the 1960s, everything changed as the “Givers of Life” worked to usher in the day the water arrived with the Columbia Basin Project. This provided agriculture and produce, leading to an increase in the Moses Lake population. Moses Lake’s farming and agriculture have become known for helping to feed the country. And in 1965, the Port of Moses Lake, home to Grant County International Airport, was formed due to the vision of our innovators. The Port now provides the canvas for 21st-century technol- ogy, manufacturing, aeronautics, and more. Grant County International Airport is a world-class, heavy jet training and testing facility and is one of the largest airports in the United States—and it all began with its roots in Moses Lake. Orthopaedic seminar a success! Do you have hip or knee pain, a sports injury, or another orthopaedic concern? Fall and winter—after the harvest—are good seasons to consider having any needed orthopaedic procedures taken care of. That will allow plenty of time for you to be ready for the activities and planting season of next spring! More than 80 people attended Samaritan Healthcare’s recent Orthopaedic Surgery Seminar to learn more about how orthopaedic surgery could help them. Leo Chough, MD, Samaritan’s staff orthopaedic surgeon, covered several topics at the free seminar, which was held at CB Tech in Moses Lake. Dr. Chough presented information about hip and knee replacements, sports medicine, deter- mining whether surgery is right for you, the benefits of rapid recovery, and more. Dr. Chough also discussed his specialty—the anterior hip procedure—which he performs locally at Samaritan. He has performed the muscle-sparing procedure for more than 10 years and has even instructed other surgeons in the technique, which leads to faster recoveries. Maple cayenne pecans Makes 4 servings.
