Markworth Announced as March Hot Shot

Abram, son of Nate and Laura Markworth, will be honored as a Floyd Valley Healthcare Hot Shot at the March 15th Musketeer game against the Omaha Lancers.  Abram is 8 years old and is in the 2nd grade.  He loves to read, build with Legos, learn about history and science and share his knowledge with others. 

Abram worked with Christin Konz, OTD on his fine motors skills and emotional regulation due to ADHD.  The family appreciated Christin using Abram’s interests to tailor his therapy and make him more comfortable while learning new skills.  They value the confidence he has gained.

ADHD is one of the most common mental disorders affecting children, with an estimated 7 million kids in the US being diagnosed.  This developmental disorder affects one’s ability to focus, control behavior and regulate impulses.  ADHD can impact daily life including a negative effect on social engagement and school or work performance.  Treatment can involve a combination of medication, therapy and behavioral health therapy depending on the severity of the symptoms. 

Please join us in celebrating Abram, our March 15th Hot Shot!

The Sioux City Musketeers, in partnership with Floyd Valley Healthcare (FVH) began the Hot Shots program in 2018.  This program was created with the goal of honoring FVH pediatric patients who have chronic health issues. We are excited to give children an opportunity to have a fun time with their family, cheer on the team and just enjoy being a kid for a night.
