We are getting more done every day in preparation for our NSEW event. I am daily talking to colleagues and partners who are excited about coming to the event and supporting in some way. We have received recent support from mentors and local physical therapy groups and imaging groups are signing on as sponsors. Not to mention the tremendous support we are receiving from our industry partners. It seems as though as things have gathered steam, people are beginning to feel see the vision of how important this cause is and want to jump on board. It also helps that many people REALLY want to see the Darwin Martin House also.
All I can say is that I am very grateful for everyone’s generosity and looking forward to making this a success on many levels. This has been my side project for the past 9 months but it has been inspirational. I am still seeing patients and operating full time (I did 2 cases today and 9 between last Thursday and Friday). Right now I have to get back to creating a lecture for the UB Orthopedics residents on hemiarthroplasty for shoulder arthritis in the young patient population. But before I do, I wanted to share an updated agenda for the event. The registration website has not been fully updated yet but this is a sneak peek at the most updated version of the event so far. See below. REGISTER HERE.
Enjoy a stunning and iconic architectural marvel in a gleaming, modern event space as we celebrate National Shoulder and Elbow Week at Buffalo’s Breatbatch Pavilion and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Darwin Martin House on May 17, 2024. Gather for a night of comradery with friends and colleagues who share a passion for improving shoulder and elbow care for our community. There will be great food, open bar, interesting talks, and a live auction.
The Darwin Martin House is an historic landmark mansion designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright between 1903-1905. It has been impeccably restored and offers a unique Spring-time indoor-outdoor venue space. By mid-May the wisteria should be blooming, adorning the trellises on the grounds. The Breatbatch Pavilion is a beautiful modern, event space which features stunning wall-to-wall glass construction through which you can view the Darwin Martin House and courtyard.
As orthopedic surgeons, the “builders” and “architects” of medical world, we will be marrying the theme of architecture with shoulder and elbow surgery in this unique event.
Our keynote speaker is Dennis Maher a UB professor of architecture and visionary founder and director of Assembly House 150. Part workshop, part art studio, and part training ground for the building crafts, Assembly House 150 is a fascinating project that is reclaiming Buffalo’s stunning architectural past and transforming it with an eye toward the future.
Join us in honoring Dr. Philip Stegemann our friend, colleague, and mentor for a career of service devoted to excellence in shoulder clinical care and education.
You will also be pick up some great items at the live auction commandeered by our very own happy double shoulder replacement patient Kelly Schultz, owner of Schultz Auctioneers and Schultz. We will be auctioning off a variety of items including local sports memorabilia, golf outings at some of the area’s most exclusive clubs, fine wood crafts and more.
Lastly, take in a handful of brief expositions on the cutting-edge shoulder research and clinical endeavors that are ongoing in our region as we highlight the unique orthopedic educational jewels that dot our area.
