Dr. Mark Lombardi joins the 4th Floor Wellness Center as our in-house physical therapist and brings decades of experi- ence in orthopedic-based rehabilitation and athletic training. Mark's background includes work with athletes and non-athletes alike. His exten- sive list of service specialties includes pre- and post-surgical care, injury prevention, recovery treatments, and more. "We all need a little help from time to time when it comes to injuries or other conditions," WAC Chief Operating Officer Wayne Milner says. "IRG is supremely qualified to assist." Members and nonmembers can use IRG services, and no doctor referral is required. "WAC members can expect our best," Mark says. "I'm looking forward to working with such a diverse member base and delivering the IRG experience." Mark has worked with athletes of all stripes, including at the high school, col- lege, professional, and Olympic levels. His skill set is a perfect addition to the WAC Wellness Center. "Physical therapy services are an excellent complement to the programs and activities we offer here at the WAC," Wayne says. "Having these services avail- able in-house is a convenient way for all members to get the treatment they need." Founded in 1996, IRG's commitment to personalized patient care helped them emerge as an industry leader in the Pa- cific Northwest. Nearly 30 years later, the company has 35 clinic locations. IRG's partnership with the WAC comes at an opportune time, filling a vacancy le by our previous physical therapist. "It will be great to have physical therapy back in the Wellness Center aer a short absence," Wayne says. "IRG brings their years of experience and outstanding reputation to the Club, and we're very excited to have them on board."
