Earlier this week, providers from across our region gathered for a clinical education dinner focused on “Redefining Shoulder Treatment Pathways.”

We are grateful to Dr. Michael Sirignano of Western Carolina Orthopaedic Specialists and Dr. Joshua Patton of Harris Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine for leading a compelling and informative discussion on emerging shoulder treatment options, including advanced surgical techniques and modern non-surgical approaches that continue to expand care possibilities for patients.

Thank you to the providers who were able to join us for this meaningful educational opportunity, and a special thank you to our wonderful hosts at Balsam Mountain Inn for helping make the evening possible.

At Harris, Haywood, and Swain, we are proud to help lead conversations that support clinical collaboration, continuing education, and high-quality care close to home.
