Camille Clinton, MD, and John Manning, MD, became the first surgeons at Evergreen to perform the procedure, which allows the body to heal a torn ACL by using the patient’s own blood. 

Evergreen is one of 10 sites in the U.S. currently participating in an ongoing BEAR implant study. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
