This year the program is designed to give the attendees a better perspective on the current practice of the sports medicine and orthopedic surgery.  The overall purpose and goal of attending is to give physicians, physical therapists, and athletic trainers useful tools and information on these topics in order improve their practice and patient care. The morning will start with registration at 7am and a welcome from Dr. Philbin at 7:30am, followed by 2 hours of presentations focused primarily on sports related injuries and sports medicine, woundcare, and pediatric back pain. After a short break and Q&A session, the 10am presentations will begin, exploring more sports medicine topics including a new approach to caring for rib fractures. An additional hot topic for the afternoon session is “Born to Run Barefoot, a closer analysis of the minimalist running movement”. Q&A and closing remarks will round out the program at around 1:00pm.

We are very honored to be recognized by the Foundation. According to Dr. Berlet, “OFAC is one of the nations leaders in foot and ankle innovation and it is often said that we are better known nationally than in our own local community. It is rewarding to have recognition from our local community and even more special to have it done by the leaders of the Arthritis Foundation.”

What also made the evening so special to all of us “was to see the showing of support from our colleagues, staff,  and friends who were there to share the event with us”, says Dr. Hyer.  Thank you to everyone who attended and gave their support to the Foundation.

Dr. Lee is also very proud of the award, “It takes a team of dedicated caring professionals to deliver the highest level of care. Finally a group, rather than an individual, has been recognized for their mutual accomplishments upwards great patient care, research and education.”

The Crystal Ball was a night to remember for everyone and reassurance to our team to continue to deliver the highest quality of care for our patients. “We enjoy partnering with the Arthritis Foundation”, says Dr. Philbin, “to help educate, treat, and do research to benefit those who suffer from arthritis, is truly something we are all passionate about.”
