A group of orthopedic surgeons from states across the country, including
Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Arizona and Maryland, will embark on a
week-long trip to Nepal to perform knee replacements for women in
Kathmandu.
Dr. Jennifer Cook, an orthopedic surgeon at Florida Joint Replacement
and
Sports Medicine Center in New Port Richey, is a member of Women
Orthopaedist Global Outreach, the nonprofit agency planning the
excursion.
The trip will employ the help of 150 volunteers and cost $300,000 to
make. Cook and volunteers will be hosting golf tournaments and casino
nights to raise money.
