    The Envelope Artist Revisited
    2024/11/20
    On the Season 7 finale of FOX Rehabilitation’s Live Better Longer podcast, we revisit one of our favorite stories centered around a favorite FOX cultural pillar—the exchange of abundance. A few years back, our host Jim Shearer’s New York City neighbor, Melody Morrow, received a monthly receipt from her healthcare provider and noticed that someone drew musical notes above her name. Melody thought that was a very nice detail and called her provider to find out who was responsible for this small act of kindness. It turned out to be the accounting clerk, Emily Margolis. Long story short, the envelopes got more and more artistic, Melody and Emily struck up a friendship, and they were even featured on CBS’ “On The Road” with Steve Hartman, as well as having the artwork showcased at a local New York City coffee shop. Jim catches up with Melody to talk about the media attention and positive feedback from the story, and the importance of taking time to do something nice for someone else.

  • Rockin’ Out with Your Patients’ Favorite Music

    Rockin’ Out with Your Patients’ Favorite Music
    2024/11/12
    Across the United States, FOX Rehabilitation works with older adult patients—65 years and older. In addition, we have many younger clinicians on our team who are still in their 20s and 30s. With this generational bouillabaisse in mind, we thought contacting popular music writer, author, and historian Joel Freimark would be a good idea. Here’s the premise of this week’s episode: Any older adult turning 65 this year would have been born in 1959, and it’s no secret that most teenagers come of age musically and discover their favorite artists, songs, and albums around the age of 16. With that formula in mind, anyone born in 1959 would have been 16 years old in 1975. (Are you with us so far?) Today, Joel’s job is to give clinicians some extra conversation fodder with their patients, by diving headfirst into 1975, revealing its best music stories, albums, and songs. So, the next time any PT, OT, or SLP sees a certain Peter Frampton album in a patient’s vinyl collection, they’ll know exactly why it’s there!
