“N
NO MAN
IS AN ISLAND
o man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main,” penned poet John Donne in
1624. This rings true even more so today, as our daily rou-
tines, lives, and businesses have been upended because of COVID-19.
The pandemic has isolated us from family, friends, and collegues and
has ripped bare the notion that it’s one versus the many. Each and every
one of us needs community to thrive for the survival of one and of all.
With that in mind, in this issue, we introduce you to Brian L. Hambrick.
An Orthopedic Physician Assistant and Sports Medicine Specialist at
Alpha Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, he personifies the idea of put-
ting community first. Growing up in Sherman, Hambrick grew up with a
deep love for family, community, and sports. This is why he came back
to Sherman after his medical training, to care for the community he’s
always called home. He considers it an honor to care for the residents
of the area where he was born and raised.
We recently sat down with Hambrick to learn how his small-town upbring-
ing in Sherman has influenced him and why being able to give back to
the community that is so much a part of him and that helped raise him is
so rewarding. As you’ll read, the concern and compassion Hambrick has
for his patients is readily evident. He treats patients like family because
he considers them family. Read how Hambrick’s hometown approach is
making a difference in the lives of all those around him.
Farther from home is another person making an impact during these
uncertain times. You may recognize Ryan Reynolds from his big screen
roles, including that of superhero Deadpool. If you’ve been following
him on Instagram along with his 35.8 million other fans recently, you
know that he’s been making an impact in his home country of Canada
and his adopted U.S. home while quarantined with his family. Along
with his wife Blake Lively, the pair has donated $1 million to food bank
charities and pledged $400,000 to New York City Hospitals, along
with lending their celebrity to encourage their fans to help in their ef-
forts. Turn to our celebrity feature on Reynold to read how he’s making
a difference during these uncertain times.
On behalf of everyone at LIVING WELL Magazine, we are grateful
for our healthcare partners’ selfless service during these unprecedented
times and for our readers’ continued support.
Thank you, as always, for reading.
