On Saturday, February 25th, Dr. Tsombaris and staff members Jessica and Lori participated in the South Jersey Healthcare Spirit of Women event - Day of Dance.  The event was held at the Cumberland County College.

Day of Dance is a community-based event, hosted by Spirit of Women hospitals across the country. This event offers fun for the entire family. Participants danced, learned simple ways to stay heart healthy, enjoyed music, and participated in health screenings.

Over 150 attendees were educated on common foot injuries/conditions, properly fitting shoes and foot care.  Over 50 attendees had their gait analyzed using our computerized Footmaxx system.

We had a lot of fun and are looking forward to participating next year!!
