Each year, the FHN Foundation Board of Trustees determines the best use of our prior-year endowment income. This year, the board decided to use the funds to buy FHN's orthopaedic surgeons a hightech surgical table to facilitate anterior hip replacement surgery.
This is a nationally recognized program designed to teach non-medical people, the everyday members of the community, the importance of stopping hemorrhage. In addition, it teaches the skills necessary to control and if possible, stop bleeding in people with traumatic injuries.
Join podiatrists Dr. Roland Tolliver and Dr. Richard Bell in a discussion about what you can do to keep your tootsies in top condition and prevent slips and falls this winter, as well as when to seek professional help if something seems awry or if you take a tumble anyway.
