Contributions & Donations

Philanthropic support plays a critical role in the work of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. Gifts from private individuals and foundations allow our faculty to advance our research, clinical care and education, all of which helps us heal people so they can get back to the activities they enjoy.
