As we enter the holiday season and approach the end of the year, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your dedication, passion, and hard work throughout 2024. This year has been remarkable—filled with groundbreaking research, exceptional patient care, and educational achievements—all made possible by your invaluable contributions.
Looking ahead to 2025, I am optimistic about the opportunities before us. Together, we will continue to achieve new milestones in education, clinical care, and innovation, further solidifying our leadership in musculoskeletal care, orthopaedic surgery, physical therapy, and occupational therapy.
Although uncertainty remains ahead, one thing remains certain: together, we can overcome whatever comes our way. The spirit of innovation, compassion, and teamwork that drives our department will continue to guide us through even the most unpredictable times.
I wish you and your loved ones a joyful, restful, and safe holiday season. May the new year bring eudaimonia—a true state of good spirit—along with success and happiness.
Happy holidays to each of you and your families. Here’s to a season filled with warmth, joy, inspiration and a new year brimming with opportunity and possibility. Thank you for all you do to make our department truly exceptional.
All the best,
