Please join the Dankmeyer team in welcoming Stacy Gilbow as a full time Patient Services Representative! Stacy joins CPO Robert Brown at the Sinai Hospital campus office. A native of Baltimore, Stacy comes to Dankmeyer with over 34 years of experience in medical administration and patient services. Stacy loves to work with patients on a personal level to provide compassionate assistance. Stacy is married, and when she is not working she enjoys spending time on the Eastern Shore and playing with her 2 year old Labrador, Luna. We are very happy to have her as part of the Dankmeyer family, so when you see her say hello!
Join TEAM DANKMEYER for The Children's League September Event!
We invite you to join TEAM DANKMEYER and participate in The Children’s League 18th annual fundraiser this September.
Last September, Dankmeyer was proud to support The Children’s League Kid Walk/Kid Talk fundraising event in Cumberland, Maryland. A team composed of Mark Treasure, CP, BOCO, Patient Representative Heather Iman and her family, Dawn Miranda Prosthetist Assistant, and two Cumberland area patients - Mr. Bill Ewing and Kaleb Mearkle, participated in the event. Mr. Ewing and Kaleb are both beneficiaries of The Children’s League.
We were planning to do it again this year, except bigger! As with many things COVID related, The Children’s League has had to shift to a virtual event. In some ways, this makes it easier for more people outside of the Cumberland area to support The Children’s League. After discussion with the Cumberland Dankmeyer team, we have developed a new plan!
We have created TEAM DANKMEYER on The Children’s League event page of Eventbrite (click here), and invite you to participate in this virtual effort. (If you would rather download and print the form and send directly to The Children’s League - click here.) When you sign up on Eventbrite, be sure and do so by selecting “Join a Team” and then enter TEAM DANKMEYER. You will receive a race T shirt from The League at packet pickup, (that Dankmeyer has helped sponsor) and be a part of the team. Over a two week period, 9/19/20 - 9/30/20, you can walk, run, bike, hike, or pretty much do anything you choose at any distance, to support the effort. Take pictures of yourselves and any family members or friends who join up and send to us so we can post about the event. Send them to cl-event@dankmeyer.com and we will be happy to post them on our Facebook page.
When you register, the option is available to donate via PayPal, or you can send a check to The Children’s League directly. Individuals or Team Members who prefer to register and make their pledges by phone may contact The Children's League at 301-759-5200. To register online but pay by cash or check, enter the promo code "Check" during registration.
If you have any problems or questions regarding registration, call The League at 301-759-5200.
We sure hope you can join TEAM DANKMEYER and make this a great virtual event!
Dankmeyer Welcomes New Prosthetics Orthotics Resident Danny Weiser!
Please join the Dankmeyer team in welcoming our new Prosthetics and Orthotics Resident, Danny Weiser. Originally from Northeast Philadelphia, Danny Weiser moved to the Baltimore area at age 15 for high school and never left. Danny went on to complete a bachelor’s degree at Towson University, majoring in exercise science, with the plan to go on to graduate school for physical therapy. While shadowing on the Neuro-Rehab unit at Sinai Hospital Danny was exposed to the creative and dynamic world of prosthetics and orthotics, forever changing his course. Danny completed his master’s in prosthetics and orthotics at Northwestern University in Chicago.
From a young age, Danny has been interested in helping others find the magic and positivity in life. Since the age of 6, Danny has been a student of magic and has managed to perfect his craft through reading, learning, and performing magic in front of thousands of audiences. While pursuing his bachelor’s degree, Danny stopped performing magic in order to focus on his studies. However, instead of severing his ties with magic all together, Danny managed to channel his creativity and began engineering, developing, and creating magic apparatus for professional magicians. During that time, Danny self-taught many methods of the engineering and manufacturing process, such as making molds, pouring plastics, laser cutting, 3D design, and 3D printing. Danny has developed many relationships with companies throughout the world in order to mass manufacture these products.
Since completing his master’s, Danny has aspired to find ways to assist others in achieving goals that they feel are unattainable. Becoming a prosthetist orthotist allows him to combine this desire with his creative and manufacturing background to help others reach their goals. Danny would like to aid in the advancement of the prosthetics and orthotics field through both exploration and the improvement of real-world methods.
Welcome to Cumberland, Rebecca Frost!
We would like to welcome Rebecca Frost, CP, to the Cumberland Office team! Becca has spent time in every Dankmeyer office and is very excited to learn more about the amazing clients and healthcare workers of Western Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania!
Her hobbies include anything outdoors, including activities like hiking, wakeboarding, snowboarding, mountain biking, and volleyball. Being in this beautiful part of our state gives her new opportunities to explore her favorite outside work activities in the great outdoors.
Mark Treasure, CP, BOCO and Heather Iman, Patient Services Representative, gave Becca a little socially distant, PPE wearing COVID appropriate welcome. Together (yet apart!) the Cumberland team is “Maryland Strong! Cumberland Strong! Dankmeyer Strong!”
Congratulations Tyler and Gavin, Graduates of 2020
This has been a tough spring semester for students everywhere, but for many seniors it must have seemed a very difficult and disappointing situation. Dankmeyer would like to take this opportunity to wish all graduates of the Class of 2020 Best Wishes and Good Luck!
Particularly we would like to give a special shout out to two young men who have both worked and/or volunteered at Dankmeyer over the last few years. Tyler Treff and Gavin Castle are members of this Class of 2020 whose senior year of high school ended in a very unexpected way. Tyler is the son of Patient Services Coordinator Cindy French, and Gavin is the son of Patient Services Coordinator Adrienne Castle. Tyler graduated from North County High School - Home of the Knights - in Glen Burnie. Gavin graduated from Northeast High School - Home of the Eagles - in Pasadena.
We have a gallery of pictures from each young man that represent a bit of their personal and family graduation celebrations. We wish them both well and all success as they move forward into the next steps of their lives.
Gavin Castle’s gallery is first, with Tyler’s next. Please celebrate them with their families and the Dankmeyer team.
