The HSS-Stavros Niarchos Foundation Orthopedic Seminar Program, for instance, formed a long-term bridge of knowledge exchange between Greece and New York, with Greek surgeons honing new skills through case presentations and hands-on practice at HSS to improve the care they deliver back home. The SNF Complex Joint Reconstruction Center deals with the most challenging cases in the already demanding field of joint replacement, centralizing HSS’s world-class resources to create a one-stop shop that improves patient outcomes.
