The new initiative was created to “build and improve the reputation of orthopedic care among key audiences, such as patients, the public, policy makers and the media.” The organization will promote this initiative by disseminating patient success stories and creating a virtual space for patients to share these stories.

The initiative will also address the larger context of healthcare delivery challenges, including budget issues and the increasing aging population.
