Last week, some of our team members gathered for a meaningful event supporting osteosarcoma awareness and research. Pictured here are Rui Yang, MD (far left), and Erica Giles, MD (left of center), who dedicate their work to caring for patients with this rare and aggressive cancer. They were also joined by Stephen Simonich, MD (right of center), one of our sports medicine orthopedic surgeons, who attended in support of this important cause.

Standing with them is our dear colleague, Morgan Barr (center), and her husband, Mark (far right), an osteosarcoma survivor whose story reminds us why this work matters so deeply. 💛

This event was held by in memory of Miles, a young boy whose family created the Miles of Hope Fund after losing him to osteosarcoma. Their courage and determination inspire us all to continue pushing for progress.

For Mark. For Miles. For every child, teenager, and family affected by osteosarcoma, we remain devoted to advancing care, research, and brighter futures.
