A Message from their Program Champion
“My first experience with Own the Bone was in residency. I thought it was such a great program to ensure that our patients had the care they needed after injury. I am very excited to start this program at my institution and be able to deliver that same high level of care” – Giselle M. Hernandez, MD, FAAOS- Assistant Professor, Orthopedic Trauma Division.
