Campbell, Vanderbilt, UAMS and West TN Bone and Joint host National Shoulder & Elbow Week Celebration in Memphis
On Thursday, May 14, Campbell Clinic's Drs. Tyler Brolin, Quin Throckmorton and Frederick Azar, joined by colleagues from Vanderbilt, Univ of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and West Tennessee Bone and Joint, hosted the American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeons Foundation "National Shoulder & Elbow Week" Celebration and Forum in Memphis.
Thanks to top sponsors Enovis, Zimmer Biomet, Campbell Clinic, Arthrex, DePuy Synthes and 15 additional healthcare partners, more than 125 gathered at Crosstown Concourse to improve shoulder health and patient mobility.
Dr. Throckmorton highlighted how the regional logistics and manufacturing workforce requires healthy shoulders. Coupled with a growing and thriving throwing sports community, the message and call to action could not be more relevant and acute.
With opening remarks by Crosstown Concourse CEO Todd Richardson, Dr. Brolin led the forum, with insights shared by Dr. Throckmorton and Vanderbilt University College of Medicine's Dr. Jed Kuhn.
In addition, Duncan Williams, Chairman of the Greater Memphis Chamber, encouraged collaboration:“Progress happens when everyone participates. When people can stay healthy, recover from injuries, remain active, and return to work, families are stronger, companies are stronger, and our economy is stronger."
The NSEW Memphis event was one of eight across the country. Proceeds will support research grants to expand shoulder and elbow care and innovation.
