 Happy Thanksgiving!
As we gather to give thanks this holiday season, we at Jackson Orthopedic Foundation want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude for you. Whether you’re advancing the health of your community through your work as a clinician or supporting nonprofits like ours, your dedication to creating a healthier, happier world inspires us every day.  Our popular summer Healthcare Immersion Program (HIP) is back! HIP is is a great way for college students to explore possible healthcare careers, all while shadowing various health fields while shadowing experienced providers (preceptors) as they treat patients.
Based in Oakland, California, our 2024 program runs July 8-August 2. Applications are now open. Deadline to apply has been extended to Friday, June 28. 🎓🩺 
With summer around the corner we're excited to share several learning opportunities with you for this season and beyond.
Our catalogue of in-person, online and blended learning options is designed to help you conveniently and affordably acquire new skills and confidence treating common bone, muscle and joint conditions. Each summer we also help students explore future careers in healthcare. 
Jackson Orthopedic Foundation lost a good friend and colleague last month. Dolores Beanland, one of the Foundation’s founding partners and long-time Board of Directors members, passed away on New Year’s Day following a brief COVID-related illness.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1.4 million health care workers — many of them nurses — were laid off or furloughed in April.
Our nurses are in trouble. Due to the COVID-19 health crisis, many nurses who treat patients living with muscle, bone and joint disorders are having their pay cut, or being laid off or furloughed. Orthopedic procedures have been canceled or delayed, and some medical practices have been forced to close.
