Public & Patient Education

The Public and Patient Education Department (PPED) at HSS offers a multitude of programming and practical information on musculoskeletal conditions and other health-related topics of interest to patients and the public. The department strives to provide current and useful information to our audiences through education programs, lectures/symposia, workshops, exercise classes, publications, and videos.

HSS Wants to Hear from You!

Please take a few minutes to complete our community health needs assessment survey. We hope to learn about your muscle, bone, and joint health needs. Your participation will help us develop community programs and services that best meet your needs. The survey is completely anonymous. The survey is open until April 1, 2019.

Upcoming Programs

HSS offers a wide range of educational courses and workshops for patients as well as the public. Many of the events are free or some may have a low fee.
