Physical therapist Tami Parker and patient Pam Sedler.
Pam Sedler isn’t the type to sit around her Mayville home. At 66 years old, she’s far from being ready to slow down, and the last thing she wants standing in her way is chronic back pain. “I like to go 100 miles an hour, and that’s just the way I am,” Sedler said. “I want to keep active, and I don’t want an injury to slow me down or stop me from doing the things I really want to do.” Sedler is a go-getter. She plays guitar and piano and sings old country and gospel songs at a local nursing home. She even taught herself how to ride a motorcycle and fell in love with the feeling of wind on her face. She has four grandkids she likes to chase around, and with her husband, bought a camper this summer to explore more of North Dakota. Sedler will be part of a volunteer welcoming crew for Super Bowl 52 next year in the Twin Cities, a job that will require extended time standing on her feet.
the point where she could hardly walk, leading her to physical therapist Tami Parker at Sanford Mayville Medical Center. “Oh my goodness, I’ve noticed a big difference,” Sedler said. “Tami was so good and very encouraging to me. She was as enthusiastic about me getting better as I was.” Sedler started by going to physical therapy three times a week and now only goes as needed. During their sessions, Parker tailored stretches and exercises to Sedler’s needs. “Tami taught me not to get discouraged, that anything I do is better than nothing at all and not to push myself to the point of pain,” Sedler said. “That was a big, big help in my healing.”
“That made a big difference,” Sedler said. “Tami did a super job with that treatment.”
Thank you to everyone involved!

Both receive care at Sanford Mayville and can walk from their house to any appointments. “Our facility here is fabulous,” Sedler said. “We have everything we need right here in Mayville.

Did you know that the Sanford Health Foundation accepts donations of grain and livestock?
By arranging a future gift — through a will, life income gift, gift annuity, charitable trust or insurance policy — you can meet your personal, financial and estate planning goals. You may even increase the size of your estate and/or reduce the tax burden on your heirs.
This is a great opportunity for local farmers and ranchers to give back and receive significant tax savings. Here’s how it works: You sell your product to your local elevator or sale barn and they send the amount you choose to the Foundation. Then you can subtract that amount from your taxable income.
