In addition to these efforts abroad, our physicians have helped bring severely injured third-world patients to Colorado to provide pro-bono reconstructive surgeries, restoring function and quality of life. Monetary donations help further our mission by sending surgical teams overseas, and supplying medical books, medications, and equipment to those in need. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical equipment have been donated by medical device companies, hospitals, our patients and other sponsors, and delivered to third world medical clinics during these trips, extending the opportunity for advanced medical care long after our team has returned home. They have participated in short term medical mission trips to Cambodia, Rwanda, Brazil, Honduras, and Guatemala over the last 18 years. These trips offer opportunities to care for impoverished communities that lack proper medical treatment and to educate their local healthcare providers. Our physicians have dedicated themselves to providing orthopedic care to the underprivileged locally and abroad. We are committed to leading orthopedic missions worldwide, providing physician and community education, and promoting health and wellness to local youth. From the beginning, the Cornerstone Foundation has strived to: provide orthopedic care to the underserved at home and abroad, educate the community on health and injury prevention, and educate medical professionals on the safest and most effective up to date practices.
as an extension of their desire to pursue excellence in orthopedics.
The Cornerstone Foundation was founded in 2004 by the physicians of Cornerstone Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, P.C. We are a Colorado based non-profit comprised of local community members and physicians.
