WALK TO CURE ARTHRITIS
In Orange and Los Angeles Counties, more than 1.5 million people have arthritis. To fight this leading cause of disability, the Walk to Cure Arthritis held June 1, 2014, from Angel Stadium of Anaheim, raised awareness and over a half a million dollars towards a cure. Monies raised were earmarked
for research, juvenile arthritis fellowships and scholarships for children to attend juvenile arthritis camp. HOI was a leading supporter of this year’s highly successful event. CEO Dereesa Purtell Reid joined Dennis Kuhl, president of Angels Baseball, and Teresa Dinh, executive director of the Arthritis Foundation, for the Walk to Cure Arthritis Kick Off Event at Angel Stadium. HOI orthopedic surgeon Stephen Mikulak, MD, was selected as the event’s medical honoree in recognition of his work in minimally invasive joint replacements and his care for arthritis patients since 1998.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
