Spread the Love! Transform musculoskeletal care this Valentine’s Day

2/12/2025

 
a smiling nurse next to headline, you can help bridge the musculoskeletal care gap
Every day, millions of people suffer from pain, mobility issues, and musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions that impact their ability to work, stay active, and enjoy life. Muscle, bone, and joint disorders are one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, accounting for nearly 30% of all years lived with disability. Despite their prevalence, most healthcare providers receive little to no specialized training in MSK care, leaving many patients without the treatment they need.

At Jackson Orthopedic Foundation, we believe that better training leads to better care—and we’re on a mission to bridge this gap. This Valentine’s Day, we invite you to put your compassion into action and help transform musculoskeletal care.
