Why This Event Matters

Building strong relationships with our local physicians is critical to delivering seamless, high-quality patient care.

This evening is an opportunity to connect directly with two respected Dignity Health sports medicine physicians, gain insight into how they evaluate and manage degenerative rotator cuff pathology, and align our rehabilitation approach with current non-operative and surgical decision-making.

By understanding how these physicians think, communicate, and treat, we strengthen collaboration, improve patient education, and reinforce Spooner as a trusted partner in the shoulder care continuum.

What You’ll Learn

• Current evidence guiding non-operative management of degenerative rotator cuff tears
• When imaging findings meaningfully influence treatment decisions
• Key factors that drive surgical vs. conservative pathways
• Surgical considerations that impact rehab timelines and expectations

This content is designed to immediately enhance clinical reasoning, patient communication, and confidence in plan-of-care discussions.

Why Attend In Person (or Live)

• Relationship building: Put faces to names and establish rapport that strengthens referrals and collaboration
• Clinical alignment: Ensure Spooner therapists are speaking the same language as referring physicians
• Better patient outcomes: Clearer expectations, smoother transitions, and more confident care delivery

Can’t attend live? We’ll live-stream the session and share the recording with registered participants.
