By improving their patients’ health, McLean County Orthopedics will improve their quality of life.
The practice, 2502 E. Empire St., is nearing its 40th year and, in conjunction with Signet Development, has broken ground for a $35 million facility on Bloomington’s east side.
MCO will be one of three partners in the Center for Integrated Wellness, which will house MCO’s clinical and administrative offices, physical therapy and imaging. Scheduled to be open by September 2016, the building will bring all MCO services into one comprehensive medical facility. MCO has seven orthopedic surgeons, two pain management physicians and two podiatrists as part of its 120-person staff. They take care of broken bones, torn ACLs and total hip or knee replacements, among many other services. The practice can treat most orthopedic needs involving the hip, knee, foot, shoulder, elbow and hand, and
its physicians are experts in sports-related injuries.
And, because not all bone and joint injuries need surgery, there are twenty licensed therapists who offer a complete array of physical and occupational therapy services. In many cases, rehabilitation may be all
that’s necessary to return a patient to full recovery.
“MCO can help maintain your quality of life and activity,” CEO Don Stumpp says. “Whether it’s walking, swimming, biking, golf, dancing, or simply playing with your children or grandchildren, joint and muscle pain does not have to prevent you from enjoying life.”
If you do require surgery, MCO physicians are specialists in hip replacements including the anterior approach, says Stumpp. If a patient qualifies, the surgeon can reach the hip joint from the front, leaving soft tissues and key muscles undisturbed and a faster recovery with smaller scars.
MCO has the region’s leading expert in hand and wrist injuries, and the practice is the official provider of orthopedic medicine for the Normal CornBelters baseball team.
