From patient to coworker to family

August 13, 2026

Amy Strickland’s family started out as patients of Baldwin Bone and Joint, but Amy felt called to go further.

“I’d come in and everybody was so nice and friendly. It just felt warm here. I just fell in love with the place.”

When an job opportunity opened up, Amy took it and began working at the practice. Little did she know, her new coworkers would become family, helping and providing support after her son, Cleighton, was in a near fatal car accident.

“When you’re stuck in a hospital situation and you see all of your work family wearing shirts and supporting your son, it just gives you a different outlook for where you work. They supported us, you know, whatever I needed—making sure that I knew they were waiting on me here. And that I had real friends and people that cared about us.”
