When Your Child Breaks a Bone {Convenience at Hancock Gateway}

Disclosure: This post is in part of a collaboration with Hancock Health

Two months ago my seven year old fell off of the monkey bars. I am constantly reliving the moment in my mind whenever I see playground equipment. I turned around as her feet slipped from the ledge and she landed right on her left wrist. Immediately I knew it was broken but ironically she never shed a tear, even during the half mile walk from the park back to our house. But I knew she had to see a medical professional and more importantly, needed x-rays to confirm what we thought – her wrist was broken.

As moms, we all know that this moment will most likely come at some point in our lives. Whether it’s a broken bone from the playground or a more serious high-tech imagining service, we know that typically these can be expensive. Hancock Gateway is not only efficient but their imaging services can save your family money.
