Warsaw, Ind., currently houses one-third of the world’s orthopedic manufacturing companies, and two-thirds of the world’s hip and knee manufacturing companies, earning it the title of “orthopedic capital of the world.”
The state awarded the $30 million to local nonprofit OrthoWorx, which focuses on filling voids in the orthopedic industry through retention and training efforts.
The funds will be used to subsidize development of workforce housing, add community amenities to northern Indiana and create an orthopedic innovation research center, among other projects, according to the report.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
