Hospital for Special Surgery's Benefit Committee Celebrates A Night at the Opera
NEW YORK, N.Y.—November 12, 2007
As part of its ongoing commitment to support medical education, Hospital for Special Surgery's Benefit Committee is hosting "A Night at the Opera" at the promenade of the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center. More than 300 guests are expected at the dinner.
"Our comprehensive medical education program has helped the Hospital maintain its leadership role in the fields of orthopedics, rheumatology, radiology, anesthesiology, rehabilitation and sports medicine," said Cynthia D. Sculco, chairperson of the Benefit Committee and wife of Thomas P. Sculco, M.D., surgeon-in-chief at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery.
"Support from this event will permit Hospital for Special Surgery to continue to provide award-winning education and training programs that benefit patients and physicians across the globe," she said.
A key component to their education and training is the HSS Journal, a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year that features articles by Hospital for Special Surgery faculty and alumni.
