  Speaker 2: and honestly, dating back to I think even the first
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: grade is when I can first remember saying that I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: wanted to be a doctor. And I'm a stubborn person,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and I guess I just kind of stuck with that
• 1:33

• 1:36
  Speaker 2: went to Saint Ambros for my undergrad and did got
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: my bachelor's in biology there, went off to medical school
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: at University of Illinois at the Rockberd campus there, and

• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Community Hospital, and you know, doctor Truman, you return in

• 2:26
  Speaker 1: saying all kinds of construction, all kinds of improvements, all
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: kinds of expansion with this facility.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a busy place, that is for sure. I'm

  Speaker 2: coming in a really exciting time.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, And so we're welcoming back, doctor Trevor Troutman as
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a family practice position to Morrison, Illinois. I'm sure that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you know you're choosing Morrison probably goes back to your roots,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: is that right, Doctor.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Troutman, Yeah, no, exactly. I mean my entire family's back
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: here in Morrison, so they think the plan has always
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: been to come back and get closer to them. You know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: it was nice living in the suburbs for sure, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: having all the access to all the food and everything,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But i mean getting back home what's the most important thing.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, And I'm sure that you know that was
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: probably one of the main choices. And I'm sure that
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Morrison Community Hospital. As we just mentioned, doctor Trautlin, is
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of in an exciting time, right, Probably
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it went to your decision, you know, coming out of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the Chicago suburbs back to Morrison.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, Morrison Community Hospital has done so much over
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the last few years. The expansion, you know, the current
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: family medicine clinic expansion is probably the thing that I'm
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: most excited about. Yeah, personally, we're going to have a
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: brand new family medicine clinic and moving over in there
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the next spring. Super exciting. But then just the general
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: expansions of the hospital have been amazing. I mean, the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: work that's been done to expand our access to specialty
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: care here. I mean, Morrison, Illinois is not exactly a
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: giant place, but we have all these sub specialists that
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: are now here to help serve our community and get
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: faster care.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I'm sure that looking at kind of some
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of the background information that I was, you know, given
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: doctor Troutman, you're kind of filling some shoes here, right,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you know, the people that are kind of exitied Morris.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, absolutely so. Doctor Mark Woods just actually his
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: last day was last week. His retirement party was this
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: weekend and I was able to get to that, which
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: was a super super special thing. You know, he's provided
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: care to the community for thirty nine years, and you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: he took care of me when I was a kid.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: So it's really cool to come home and kind of
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: try to fill those shoes. They're definitely big shoes to
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: try to fill, and I'm hoping that I can do
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: it well.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You know, obviously, you know, a great physician for the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Morrison area, and we wish doctor Woods the best in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: his retirement. Obviously as he kind of steps back and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: relaxes a little bit, maybe well, well that's that the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: wait to see, you know, just where his direction takes him.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But we congratulate doctor Woods obviously on his years of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: service with Morrison Community Hospital. And doctor Trevor Troutman is
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: now a family practice physics at Morrison Community Hospital. He's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: our guest today on the Monday morning talk line here
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: at w i Accent. Doctor Troutman, let's talk about your
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: area now with our latter portion of the talk line,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: because I'm sure we can expand on this and and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: talk about this for a good portion.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: You know, being a family practice physician, you know are
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: we talking about you know, general services or how's how's
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: this you know work. As far as the scheme of things.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: At Morrison, Yeah, absolutely, So family practice is you know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: it's its own unique specialty. We're able to see anybody
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: from you know, birth to the end of life care,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: which I think is special. We're the only specialty that's
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you know, unique and able to do that. And so
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: being able to take care of the entire family is
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: kind of the whole premise of things. And you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: obviously there's a big focus on preventative care and wellness,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to make sure that we're we're quarterbacking
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you know. I think a family medicine oftentimes is like
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the quarterback of your healthcare team. You know, you have
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: your subspecialist that you're going to go to what it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: your primary care and your your family medicine's job to
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: make sure that everything is in line, make sure that
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: we're doing all of our preventative screenings, make sure that
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: we're up to date on our things like communizations, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you know, everything that we can do to make your
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: your wellness priority and prevent you know, bad outcomes down
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the road. So I mean a lot of what we
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: do is is not necessarily waving a magic wand to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: day to fix something, but you know, we're trying to
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: prevent things down the line. And then of course there's
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the acute things that come up that family medicine is
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to deal with two, which is which is always exciting.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And you know, we get to come in and you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: if you have a sprained ankle or before throat, you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: we get to we get to help care for you
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: those times too. So it's a little bit of a hybrid,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: hybrid approach to medicine and I really enjoy it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. You know, this is this is you know just
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and this is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: We could probably go a lot deeper, you know, into
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: into you know service because you know, you're you're a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: family practitioner. This is you know uh what again, Neil,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: individuals and families should be connected with and continue with, right,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I mean for most of their stay, if they're staying
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in the area and living in the area. This should
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: be number one, right, Doctor Trump really.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Should be absolutely, I'm absolutely you want to have you
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: want to have them in medicine on your team for sure,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: on your on your healthcare team because you know, we're
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: able to kind of keep track, and you know, it's
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: our job to make sure that everything is going correctly
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: for your health and that we're as optimized as we
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: can be that we're providing you the information to make
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: informed health decisions for yourself. You know, I think that
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: that's something that I really pride myself on, is making
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: sure that I educate my patients and just share the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: things that I've learned. You know, I went to school
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: for a long time, and i'd like to I'd love
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: to share that information with people and and teach them
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: to help them empower to make those decisions for themselves
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: and their health care.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, and and that's why we have doctor Trevor Trumman
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: on air with us this morning as our guest here
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: at w dowankson to talk about his area, to talk
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: about well, now, you know, since we're turning to more soon,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: how long have you been you know, at community at
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Morrison Community.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I officially started up at the hospital on
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: at the beginning of September, so I'm still relatively knew here.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: It's exciting. I'm the new.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Guy exactly right, and and being you know, the new
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: kid on the block. You know. Now, I guess you
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: know what is you know, what is your routine? I mean,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you know, getting getting the you know, you talked about
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: doctor Woods, you know obviously and his and his years
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and and you know the transition with that now is
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: is that going to you know, assist you in putting
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: together your you know, your area.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think so, I think you know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I'm currently doing kind of a hybrid. I'm at the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: hospital two days a week and I'm at doctor Woods's
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: clinic two days a week. And how the clinic expansion
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: at the hospital has done, and so I'm able to
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: see patients in both locations, which I think is great.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I mean doctor Wode's patients obviously have to have the
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: information and have given been given you know, all of
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the providers at are at our family Medicine serve here.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm excited to be able to take on
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: new patients and build the need in the community.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Well that's and that's I guess the task at hand,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I would think, doctor Troutman, uh, for you at Morrison
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Community Hospital at this present time is to build right that, Yeah,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: that association, Yeah.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, trying to build those connections with people and you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: make long lasting connections with patients that you know, hopefully
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I can take care of you know, different, I'm in
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: doctor Wood's shoes in thirty nine years. It'd be exciting.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Well, you that you know and and and you with
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you know roots in the area. It wouldn't surprise me,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: but you never know, you know, you don't, you never know,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: but but it wouldn't surprise me, you know that that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that would take place. And it's great to have doctor
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Troutman on board with us talking about his area. He
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: is the new family practice physician at Morrison Community Hospital.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: You did mention there are still others serving right on staff.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely absolutely. So We've got a really good primary
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: care team in the hospital. I think it's been built
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: up a lot over the years and we're all excited
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: to take on take on the community and make sure
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: everybody is healthy and well.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Doctor Eustace, uh, Doctor Jamal, I'm seeing here right with
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: with with family practice areas. You have a nurse practitioner
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: in uh in Ashley Snowden right, So so those so
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: those you're you're you're kind of working are you working
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: with these you know individuals at this time? You know,
• 10:13

• 10:18
  Speaker 2: acclimated to the area and the computer systems here. And
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: you know, transitioning out of residency is never a super
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: smooth thing, but it's it's been honestly surprisingly smooth with
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the help of these guys here.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: You know, we always talk about doctor Troutman, the advancements

• 11:16
  Speaker 2: never forget, you know, as a as a medical student,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: kind of fear that went through the world and getting

  Speaker 2: The way that the community end of came around and
