Giving to HSS
One out of every two adults in the United States is affected by a musculoskeletal disease or disorder. Three out of every four people over the age of 65 are affected. HSS is the world leader in treating and researching orthopedic diseases and disorders. Philanthropy enables our world-class team to improve lives and provide the best patient care possible.
Your generosity helps people across the globe live better lives by directly supporting our efforts to:
