Medical Mission to Honduras

Spearheaded by Dr. Smith and Katie Smith, PA, a team of 40 orthopedic specialists recently traveled from Atlanta to Honduras. In just 3 days, they performed 37 knee replacement surgeries in a country where there is a huge need for joint replacement procedures. The team included PO staff members Judith Randolph, Comache Pacheco and Kelli Tesler, along with specialists from Piedmont Healthcare and Crosslink Orthopedics. Surgeries took place near the city of Tegucigalpa at the One World Surgery Center and Nuestros Peque~nos Hermanos orphanage.

From surgical implants to the surgery itself, everything was provided at no cost. In what will now be an annual medical relief effort, Dr. Smith and his team look forward to providing orthopedic surgical care in a country where it is desperately needed.
