Community Impact Partner Spotlight: Michigan Orthopaedic Surgeons

As we continue our Community Impact Partner Spotlight, I’m excited to recognize Michigan Orthopaedic Surgeons and the incredible commitment they have shown to the arthritis community here in Michigan.

Their partnership with the Arthritis Foundation goes far beyond event support. Members of the Michigan Orthopaedic Surgeons team have served on our board, participated in our events, and been recognized for their dedication to our mission and the people we serve.

They bring so much to our partnership—medical expertise, leadership, enthusiasm, and, just as importantly, fun. Whether they are supporting an event, connecting with our community, or sharing their expertise, they bring an energy and genuine commitment that makes a difference.

Their involvement has made a meaningful impact on our organization and the people we serve, and we’re grateful for the many ways they continue to show up and champion the arthritis community.

Thank you, Michigan Orthopaedic Surgeons, for your leadership, partnership, energy, and continued commitment to making a difference! 🙌💚
