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:
- Maintain our position as the world leader in musculoskeletal care
- Provide best-in-class facilities for patients, clinicians and scientists
- Lead research that discovers the causes and cures for debilitating disease and disability
- Pioneer innovations in drugs, devices and care delivery
At a time when people are living longer than ever before, the need for continual advancement in the treatment and prevention of joint disease, pain and injury is more critical than ever – both to keep our population healthy as we age, but also to mitigate the enormous financial burden of healthcare on our society.
