the physicians, scientists, and health professionals
at Hospital for Special Surgery confront the challenges
of musculoskeletal conditions today, while pursuing pivotal
research that will bring the breakthroughs of tomorrow.

uring his first climb of the
morning on Ragged Mountain in
Connecticut, Graham Seaton lost
his footing and fell 35 feet, landing with
full force on his right leg. The October
2005 accident left him with catastrophic
fractures below the knee. But today,
Mr. Seaton is back mountaineering thanks
to the skills and novel approaches to
complex orthopedic challenges he found
at Hospital for Special Surgery.
Mr. Seaton is one of thousands of
patients each year who benefit from the
incredibly focused expertise and depth of
experience that only a specialty institution can provide. “Hospital for Special
Surgery represents the unique integration
of a world-class hospital and research
institute with the eventual goal of eradicating musculoskeletal conditions through
scientific discoveries,” says Stephen A.
Paget, MD, Physician-in-Chief and the
Joseph P. Routh Professor of Rheumatic
Diseases in Medicine. “When you place
the world’s best and the brightest in such
a productive and stimulating environment,
progress is assured for our patients.”
A New World in Orthopedic Surgery
Nearly 18,000 orthopedic procedures are
performed each year at Hospital for
Special Surgery. This wealth of experience is the source of many of the
advances in techniques and technologies
now in use around the world.
In recent years, orthopedic surgery
has pursued less invasive procedures to
address a range of conditions – from
disabling joint problems, to sports injuries
and spinal disorders, to major trauma.
Arthroscopic procedures, once reserved
for repairing soft tissue injuries in the knee
and shoulder, have been expanded to
include applications for certain hip conditions, such as labrum tears around the hip
joint, instability, and synovial disorders.

The once standard 12-inch incision for
a total knee replacement has been virtually replaced by surgery performed through
an incision of only three to four inches
long. With hip replacement, the incision
has been reduced from 10 inches to four
or five. “Although the most noticeable evidence of these newer joint replacement
techniques is the smaller incision, the real
value of these procedures is in how well
patients do following the surgery,” says
Above: With
arthroscopy, a minute
fiberoptic camera is

incisions as small as an

Thomas P. Sculco, MD, Surgeon-in-Chief,
and the Korein-Wilson Professor in
Orthopedic Surgery, who pioneered the
modified technique for hip arthroplasty.
“Pain relief and improved mobility are
accompanied by the benefits of less trauma to the muscles and soft tissues, less
blood loss during surgery, and an easier
rehabilitation.”
In addition to new techniques for joint
replacement, our surgeons and bioengineers continue to develop and refine surgical tools and joint implants. Novel
devices and smaller instruments are making less invasive surgery possible, while
improvements in materials and implant
designs are adding durability and flexibility
of motion. “Implant wear is influenced by
patient weight and activity level,” says
Timothy Wright, PhD, F.M. Kirby Chair in
Orthopedic Biomechanics. “Our surgeons
and engineers are evaluating various
implant-bearing surfaces such as metalon-metal, ceramic-on-ceramic, and
cross-linked polyethylene. Our goal is to
provide patients with low-friction, lowwear joint replacements that can withstand a rigorous lifestyle.”
Among the surgical tools that have
been developed here is customized instrumentation to lessen trauma to tissue
during joint replacement surgery. These
include an angled reamer that can be
inserted without putting too much tension
on the skin when surgeons prepare the
bones for the implant, and a hemisphere –
a small cutting device that makes it easier
to carve out a new hip socket.
Among the concerns of patients
undergoing any surgery is the possible
need for a blood transfusion. The Hospital
is a leader in developing and incorporating into practice the latest blood conservation techniques. “Blood management
is an important consideration in any
surgery,” says Gregory A. Liguori, MD,
Anesthesiologist-in-Chief. “To minimize
intraoperative blood loss and the potential for transfusion with donated blood,
we use a number of approaches, including
intraoperative autologous blood recovery
systems, often called cell saver machines.”
The cell saver machine is used to collect
blood lost during the operation, filtering
and washing it so that it may be given back
to the patient. This technique is commonly
used when significant blood loss is expected, such as during spine surgery.
Utilizing this technique, the Hospital
has been able to reduce the need for
blood transfusions from the blood bank by
97 percent.
Hospital for Special Surgery leads all
hospitals in New York State in surgical
infection prevention. Contributing to our
excellent record is a newly constructed,
state-of-the-art central sterile supply unit
that serves the Hospital’s operating room
suites. Features of the new unit include six
sterilizers, of which four are floor-loader,
walk-in sterilizers, and an automated system that tracks the processing and sterili-
zation of approximately 600 instrument
trays a day. “Every one of our trays is barcoded and indexed for inventory control,”
says William McDonagh, RN, Assistant
Vice President of Perioperative Services.
To further maintain the integrity of the
sterile environment, dedicated elevators –
one on the decontamination side and one
on the sterile side, accessible only to perioperative staff – transport trays directly
to and from the operating rooms.
In the new Central
Sterile Supply unit, the
average turnaround
time, from the time an
instrument tray goes
into the decontamination area from the OR
through the washer
to the sterilizer and
then wrapped, is
approximately three
and a half hours.
Advancements in Radiology
The Hospital has one of the most technically advanced musculoskeletal imaging
departments in the country. It is one of
only a few to use an open gantry magnetic
resonance imaging camera in which radiology specialists can image virtually any
sized patient in any position. The Hospital
for Special Surgery Musculoskeletal MRI
Center, with five MRIs and two more sited
and pending acceptance testing, will be
the largest academic MR imaging center in
the nation dedicated to musculoskeletal
3
medicine. And, with the recent opening of
the new Center for Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, the Hospital is realizing the multifaceted potential of ultrasound for both
diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
“The new Center enhances diagnostic
capabilities and treatment options for
patients with musculoskeletal disease,”
notes Helene Pavlov, MD, Radiologist-inChief. “It features three ultrasound rooms
that capture the real-time motion of muscles and tendons and provides exquisite
resolution for more well-defined images.
The equipment and the faculty expertise
allow us to offer innovative treatments,
including image-guided therapeutic injections for conditions such as tendinitis
and arthritis.”
Dr. Pavlov and her colleagues are also
at the forefront of using MR imaging for
early diagnosis of osteoarthritis. “We’re
looking at cartilage, which cannot be seen
on a routine X-ray,” she explains. “By visualizing almost to the microscopic level of
cartilage striations, we can determine if
the cartilage is starting to erode or becoming compressed long before surgical treatment or long-term management may be
necessary.”
New Horizons in Research
With a complement of nearly 100 basic
and clinical scientists, Hospital for Special
Surgery’s robust research program is
producing valuable data and information
at every level and in every orthopedic
and rheumatological specialty – helping
patients today and laying the foundation
for new therapies to come.
“Together, we are advancing Special
Surgery’s research mission to translate
basic science findings into new ways of
treating and preventing musculoskeletal
conditions,” says Steven R. Goldring, MD,
Chief Scientific Officer and the St. Giles
Chair in Pediatric Genetic Research. “We
are committed to expanding our interdisciplinary research efforts and developing a
4
continuum of clinical and basic science
that fosters translational research.”
As part of this commitment, the
Hospital welcomed Carl Blobel, MD, PhD,
in 2004 as Program Director of the
Research Division’s Arthritis and Tissue
Degeneration Program, and the Virginia
F. and William R. Salomon Chair in
Musculoskeletal Research. Dr. Blobel’s

research into a

in tissue degeneration and regeneration.
“We incorporate our current experiences with patients in order to assure,
through scientific discovery, better outcomes for others in the future,” adds
Dr. Paget. “It is just this scientific process
that leads to continued progress and
eventual cures.” ■
Transforming Patient Care
Through Science and Technology

efforts at Hospital for Special Surgery to
improve the lives of our patients.

Analyzing a body
in
MOTION
W
hen a person has foot pain, chances are
there will also be a problem in another joint.
“Malalignments rarely travel alone,” says
Howard J. Hillstrom, PhD, Director of the Leon Root, MD,
Motion Analysis Laboratory. “If you evaluate the kinetic
chain – from the foot to the knee, hip and pelvis – you can
usually find a primary, correlated, and compensatory effect.”
Using high-tech and unique assessment tools, Dr. Hillstrom
and his team are contributing important knowledge about
how a pathology is manifested while a patient is in motion.
Measuring the pressures beneath one’s feet enables staff to
quantify how someone walks, runs, or stands. By obtaining
a comprehensive picture of the origin of the problem and
why it progresses, they can then define how to treat it.
The Motion Analysis Lab, along with the Biomechanics
Lab and the Soft Tissue Engineering Lab, examines
mobility issues from different perspectives. “We look at
the problem at the in vivo scale with different technologies
and techniques,” says Dr. Hillstrom, “but each lab brings
another piece of the puzzle to the table – providing analysis, for example, of injury-induced osteoarthritis at the
joint level, the tissue level, and the chemistry level. The
goal is to integrate the information to arrive at new and
more creative treatments – surgical or conservative – that
will help the patient move with greater mobility.”

O
ne inch, two inches…even 12 inches of new bone
can be grown to address limb length discrepancies,
thanks to amazing techniques pioneered by S. Robert
Rozbruch, MD, Chief of the Adult Limb Lengthening and
Deformity Service.
Limb length discrepancies may result from trauma, growth
deformity, disease, or a congenital defect. Limb lengthening
and reconstruction techniques are used to replace missing
bone and to correct deformed bone segments in both the
upper and lower extremities. Surgeons cut and gradually
distract the bone to enable new bone to grow without
injecting or inserting any synthetic material or performing
bone grafts. The bone is stabilized using external fixation
frames or implantable internal devices.
“A computer assisted deformity correction system enables
us to make very precise and simultaneous corrections in
three planes,” says Dr. Rozbruch.
Dr. Rozbruch’s LATN (lengthening and then nailing)
procedure has drawn national recognition. With this
approach, a rod is inserted into the bone marrow cavity
and serves as a stabilizing mechanism while the bone
heals. What’s particularly exciting, says Dr. Rozbruch, is
that by substituting internal fixation at the end of the
lengthening phase, the frame can be removed much sooner
and bone healing is accelerated.
A rock climbing accident
left Graham Seaton
with a shattered ankle.
Despite initial treatment,
he was left with a
destroyed ankle joint
and limb threatening
bone loss. Dr. S. Robert
Rozbruch and Dr. David S.
Levine performed a limb
salvage reconstruction
that included an ankle
fusion and simultaneous
leg lengthening. Today,
Mr. Seaton is back on
the mountain, skiing,
mountaineering, and
ice climbing.
“Our job is to straighten, lengthen, and make the body
symmetrical,” says Dr. Rozbruch. “The bone grows naturally,
and by pulling it apart very, very slowly – a millimeter per
day – it regenerates by about one inch per month.”
And there’s no time limit for performing the procedure.
Dr. Rozbruch has cared for patients with traumas dating
back 20 years who come from the era of traction, and he
has been able to help them. (More online www.hss.edu/horizon)

STANDING
up for digital
imaging
T
he Department of Radiology and Imaging, which is
recognized worldwide for musculoskeletal, orthopedic,
and rheumatologic clinical and research imaging,
is once again at the forefront of applications for musculoskeletal imaging that are likely to prove a breakthrough for
clinical care. In collaboration with Philips, the Department
is helping to develop a new use for three-dimensional axial
weight-bearing fluoroscopy, which provides digital X-ray
images of a patient’s pathology while standing. Hospital for
Special Surgery is the only site in the country applying this
technology for orthopedic diagnostics, which was originally
approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in
cardiac studies.
“This is the first time we can look at a patient’s knee or
ankle when it is in a weight-bearing position and construct
a 3-D representation of the body part in an X-ray mode,”
says Helene Pavlov, MD, Radiologist-in-Chief. While a CT
scan – which can only be performed with the patient lying
down – gives important information, upright fluoroscopy
provides what a CT scan cannot – the effect of forces on a
joint. “This is truly emerging technology, and it is providing
a more comprehensive evaluation of pathology that was
not previously available to us.”
An image taken of a joint while the patient is standing
reveals very different information from an image of a joint
at rest. For example, if an image of a knee joint is taken
while the patient is supine, it could show adequate space
in the joint. But the joint space narrows considerably
under the load of standing weight, providing some very
telling diagnostic information about cartilage degeneration
and the cause of pain.
“Subtle misalignment in a joint might be missed when
the patient is imaged lying down,” adds Dr. Pavlov, “so
applying gravity holds enormous potential.”

identified a pathogenic
marker that is present in
pressure ulcers, diabetic
foot ulcers, and venous
ulcers. “We rely on these
molecular markers to
demarcate bad tissue
from good,” she says.
This is the first molecule
to be discovered that
actually prevents wounds
from healing.
O
n the fifth floor of the Hospital’s Research Building,
scientists in the Tissue Engineering, Regeneration,
and Repair (TERR) Program are tackling some of
the most serious clinical challenges through their work
at the bench. Among them are Marjana Tomic-Canic, PhD,
Director of the Laboratory of Tissue Repair; Suzanne
Maher, PhD, who heads the Laboratory for Functional
Tissue Engineering; and Peter Torzilli, PhD, Director of
the Laboratory for Soft Tissue Research, who oversees the
overall TERR program.
While they each pursue different types of tissue injury,
they share a common interest in the role of inflammation,
which is present in any wound whether it’s to bone, cartilage, tendon, or skin. Since these tissues share similar
composition, the cellular processes that guide their repair
mechanisms have many common properties and similar
therapeutic approaches may be applicable.
Dr. Tomic-Canic is seeking solutions to the widespread
problem of pressure sores and skin ulcers that are among
the leading causes of mortality in hospitalized elderly
patients. “Some of the breakage in skin is linked to
decreased vasculature, and some is due to pressure,” says
Dr. Tomic-Canic. “We’re trying to understand how load
affects tissue integrity of skin, which molecules are
involved, and why this evolutionary protected mechanism
becomes impaired in elderly people or those who have
metabolic diseases, such as diabetes.”
Dr. Tomic-Canic is now adopting a model system that was
developed by Dr. Torzilli’s lab for testing cartilage that will
enable her to put load on skin and test its mechano-biological

properties as a model for pressure ulcers. “We stretch that
skin after load and also look at molecules and enzymes
that may compromise the integrity of skin,” she says.
“Understanding these initial changes triggered by load in
skin will allow us to understand how a pressure ulcer
develops.”
Nearby, Dr. Suzanne Maher is investigating porous hydrogels
to replace damaged articular cartilage. “Our goal is to provide a matrix with mechanical properties similar to that of
articular cartilage in which embedded growth factors stimulate the proliferation and migration of healthy cells to the
affected areas,” says Dr. Maher. To create the ideal hydrogel
scaffold involves preparing solutions that are stirred at different speeds for different times, using a range of additives.
The solution is then poured into molds and subjected to
freezing cycles to solidify it.
“Once brought back to room temperature, we can slice the
material, look at the structure under a microscope, and
then mechanically test it,” she says. “We can change the
variables during preparation of the solution to understand
how they change the structure and mechanical properties
of the scaffold. There needs to be a balance between having
the scaffold porous enough so the cells can get in and yet
not too porous so it is mechanically weak. Ultimately, we
hope to generate a computer model that will facilitate this
scaffolding process.”
Dr. Peter Torzilli and Dr. Chris Chen are interested in
determining how cyclic loading similar in a joint affects cells
in the articular cartilage. “By mechanically overloading
the cartilage, we’re able to produce in the tissue specimen a
response in a short period of time that is similar to what
happens in the long-term damage that occurs in osteoarthritis,” says Dr. Torzilli.
Of more interest, Dr. Torzilli and his colleagues have
recently found that normal walking is beneficial in reducing
inflammation. “Cyclically loading cartilage at the level similar to normal walking can inhibit degradative events due
to joint inflammation,” says Dr. Chen. “This implies that if
you walk daily, you may have less chance of developing an
inflammatory degradation in cartilage. But there is a balance. When you have too much loading it could wear out
the tissue – but the right amount is actually beneficial.”

Navigating the
FUTURE of
orthopedic surgery
I
n the Hospital’s state-of-the-art computer assisted
orthopedic surgery laboratory, Andrew D. Pearle, MD,
is playing a key role in developing the burgeoning arena
of surgical navigation technologies that will help define the
future of orthopedic surgery.
According to Dr. Pearle, Clinical Director of the Hospital’s
Computer Assisted Orthopedic Surgery (CAOS) Center,
surgical navigation is akin to having a Global Positioning
System in the operating room, where surgical instruments
and a patient’s anatomy are simultaneously tracked with a
mapping system.
“In the OR, we use an optical tracking system in which
reflective markers are mounted on surgical instruments
and implants, and affixed to the patient,” explains Dr.
Pearle. “In this way, we can visualize the instrumentation
and anatomy to determine where to prepare the bone and
place an implant.”
As an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Pearle serves as a bridge
between companies that develop navigational software and
the OR. “To improve patient care, it is essential to identify
important clinical issues that can be addressed using this
technology,” says Dr. Pearle. “Our primary purpose is to
work with engineers to translate current applications
to surgical tools that can guide surgeons in the operating
theatre and drive the industry in the direction we think is
most important for patient care.”
“These navigation systems also offer important opportunities
to answer fundamental research questions,” notes David L.
Helfet, MD, Senior Director of the CAOS Center and Chief of
Orthopedic Trauma. Over the next several years, the Center
will focus on translational research that evaluates navigation
strategies and modifies these tools for use in trauma, arthroplasty, and sports medicine procedures.

H
ospital for Special Surgery’s ninth floor has been
transformed into a new state-of-the-art surgical
suite dedicated to outpatient procedures, along
with spacious and comfortable pre-surgical, recovery, and
family waiting areas. With nearly 18,000 surgeries performed annually at the Hospital, ambulatory procedures
now account for half.
“In the last 10 years, our surgical volumes have increased
by almost 60 percent,” says Thomas P. Sculco, MD,
Surgeon-in-Chief. “This unprecedented growth is being
fueled by a growing group of people in their 60s and 70s
and an increasingly active younger population at risk for
sports injury.”
“We view this as an operating room of the future,” says Frank
A. Cordasco, MD, who guided the development of the new
OR suites and is the Surgical Director of the Ambulatory
Surgery Center. Each operating room features three high-definition, flat panel television monitors that provide greater
detail of surgical procedures and can be viewed by everyone
in the room, at any given time. In addition, many of the
instruments and electronic equipment previously stored on
rolling towers now hang from booms, clearing floor space so
that surgical staff can access the patients and instruments
easily and efficiently.
“The new ORs accommodate the larger equipment that we
need for more recently developed outpatient procedures, such
as hip arthroscopy,” notes Dr. Cordasco, “while also creating
an environment that is more conducive to performing complex
knee and shoulder ligament and tendon reconstructions.
“We have also integrated an information technology
infrastructure that allows us to transmit live surgery not
only to the amphitheatre on the Hospital’s second floor,
but also to conference rooms in Boston, Bangalore, or
Beijing,” adds Dr. Cordasco. “From the standpoint of
education, we can provide training to surgeons anywhere
in the world.”

Predicting
pregnancy outcomes in
LUPUS
A
pregnancy should signal a joyous time. But for
women with lupus, pregnancy can bring complications, particularly in those who have the antiphospholipid syndrome. A research team, led by Jane E.
Salmon, MD, the Collette Kean Research Chair and CoDirector, Mary Kirkland Center for Lupus Research, crosses
both basic and clinical arenas to help address pregnancy
loss in these patients through PROMISSE – a multimillion
dollar, multicenter study funded by the National Institutes
of Health that seeks to define biomarkers that predict a bad
pregnancy outcome. “From PROMISSE, we have learned
that pregnancy complications are less frequent than predicted – the result of more aggressive therapies,” says Dr.
Salmon. “Now, we are looking for circulating proteins that
predict placental damage and fetal injury in patients who
fail treatment. These biomarkers may identify new targets
to prevent pregnancy complications.”
Michael D. Lockshin, MD, Director of the Barbara Volcker
Center for Women and Rheumatic Disease and Co-Director,
Mary Kirkland Center for Lupus Research, was among the first
to describe the association between pregnancy loss in lupus
and antiphospholipids back in 1985. “The PROMISSE study
is the type of research that will lead to a new textbook that
will rewrite the rules about lupus pregnancy.”

level to clinical care.
Translating
DISCOVERIES
into treatments
T
he basic science work of Lionel Ivashkiv, MD, and
Peggy Crow, MD, is crossing the bridge from bench
to bedside.
By pinpointing the mechanism through which intravenous
therapy combats chronic inflammatory diseases, Dr. Ivashkiv
and his colleagues have discovered that this time-consuming
infusion therapy may be able to be replaced with an injection. “Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) or antibody
therapy works, in part, by blocking the function of interferon gamma, a major inflammatory factor,” says Dr. Ivashkiv,
Director of Basic Research and the David H. Koch Chair for
Arthritis and Tissue Degeneration Research. “Only a small
component of the IVIG solution, which is pooled from
thousands of blood donors, is responsible for blocking this
receptor, suggesting that the immune complexes within the
preparation are causing the therapeutic effect.” As a result,
clinicians may be able to use small amounts of so-called
immune complexes in the therapy.
Dr. Peggy Crow and her
colleagues are interested
in the interferon pathway and other inflammatory pathways that
might reveal potential
therapeutic targets in
patients with lupus.
Peggy Crow, MD, the Benjamin M. Rosen Chair in
Immunology and Inflammation Research, directs the
Autoimmunity and Inflammation Program. One project in
her laboratory is focused on interferon-alpha as a mediator
of disease in lupus. “A significant number of lupus patients
have interferon pathway activation as a major component
of their immunological response,” says Dr. Crow. “Specific
interferon-alpha responsive genes are turned on in the
setting of active lupus. Determining the cause of interferonalpha production and understanding its implications for
disease are our challenges.”
Says Dr. Ivashkiv, “Dr. Crow’s basic science work carries
the potential for a major breakthrough in the treatment
of lupus – the first in 30 or 40 years.” The therapies that
target these interferons have just begun to be tested in
early Phase 1 clinical trials.

Advanced solutions for
surgery
SPINAL
A
s a teacher of 44 second-graders, Nancy Dailey
spends a lot of time on her feet. So when a sharp
pain radiating down her leg suddenly came on
last summer, she had reason for concern. Her rheumatologist Michael D. Lockshin, MD, Director of the Barbara
Volcker Center for Women and Rheumatic Disease, recommended she see a spine specialist, and Mrs. Dailey came
to see Andrew Sama, MD. Dr. Sama identified a cyst on
her spine that was impinging a nerve at the fourth and
fifth lumbar vertebrae. She managed the pain for several
months with epidural injections, but by January it was
excruciating and Dr. Sama recommended surgery.
“Mrs. Dailey had instability in one level of her spine and
severe degeneration of the discs at the bottom two levels,”
explains Dr. Sama. “As a result, she kept forming cysts
that would push on the nerves causing her great pain.
We needed to take the pressure off the nerves and then
stabilize the spine to allow the bones to heal.”
The complex, six-hour surgery would require stabilization
with specially designed instrumentation. The Hospital’s
team of engineers and surgeons had recently developed a
comprehensive spinal fusion system that will eventually
be able to address virtually any issue, from the skull to the
sacrum. The new instrumentation would prove ideal for
Mrs. Dailey’s condition.
The array of elements required in the development of the
instrumentation system was staggering – some 50 pieces,
including multiple screws color-coded according to their
diameter, a tap sized for every screw, various rod configurations with slightly different curvatures to match the
particular location in the spine, as well as pedicle diameter
measurement tools to ensure the precision needed when
operating close to the spinal cord.
The need for the new instrumentation system was
identified by Dr. Sama and Federico P. Girardi, MD, who

are participating in its development and are now using
the lumbar component, which was the first phase to be
completed. “The next phase is to expand the system in
both directions, beginning with components for the sacrum
and then moving up through the thoracic spine and into
the neck and skull,” says Joseph Lipman, MS, Director of
Device Development, Department of Applied Biomechanics
in Orthopedic Surgery.
“This is strictly a posterior system,” continues Mr. Lipman.
“While there are systems on the market that treat just the
lumbar spine or cervical spine, none existed that could be
used from top to bottom. We have already mapped out the
entire system on paper, and now we just have to translate
that paper into parts. The intent is that every component
will fit together easily and simplify surgery.”

operate on Nancy Dailey
using the new spinal
instrumentation system
designed by Special
Surgery and Ortho
Development engineers
and surgeons. The
implant is made of titanium alloy and pure
titanium – a material
with malleable qualities
making it easy to contour
to a particular shape.
According to the development team, there were many
subtle design issues to consider. For example, they had
to make sure that the screws wouldn’t breach the pedicle
wall that protects the spinal cord. It was extremely
important that the implant instrument interface would
hold the screws securely. The team also worked closely
with the medical device company Ortho Development
Corporation to make sure the components could be manufactured economically.
“We partnered with Ortho Development to develop an
instrumentation system that is very user friendly and
applicable to the full length of the spine to bridge those
areas that are particularly difficult to address due to their
location,” says Dr. Girardi. “Going from the neck into
the thoracic spine, from the thoracic spine into the lumbar
spine, and so on, poses surgical challenges.”
Dr. Girardi adds that the bone has to be reasonably healthy
in order to maintain fixation of the screw. However, for
patients who may have some bone issues,” he notes, “we
are exploring ways to improve fixation.”
In Mrs. Dailey’s surgery, Dr. Sama used six screws and
two rods that could be cut to size to fuse her lower spine.
“Because it’s a modular system it can be customized to
each patient,” says Dr. Sama. “And we wanted to develop a
system that would give us greater control and flexibility in
the operating room. I think we’ve done that very nicely.”

2006 Leadership Report
E
ach year, thousands of patients
come to Hospital for Special
Surgery confident that our
physicians and health care professionals will restore their mobility and
improve the quality of their lives. In
2006, we made great strides in several
areas central to our mission to meet
our patients’ needs by providing the
finest musculoskeletal care in the
world. Major accomplishments included the opening of state-of-the-art
facilities, new clinical initiatives,
continued growth in our research
endeavors, and the recruitment and
appointment of outstanding leadership and personnel in clinical, scientific, and administrative roles.
Recognizing Excellence
In 2006, Hospital for Special Surgery
earned national recognition on a number of fronts, reflecting what we consider our greatest accomplishment –
the extraordinary care that we
provide to our patients every day.
In 2006, the Hospital was ranked
second in the nation in orthopedics
and third in rheumatology by
U.S.News & World Report in its
“America’s Best Hospitals” survey.
It is the only New York metropolitan
area hospital ranked in the top ten
nationwide in orthopedics. For the
16th consecutive year, the Hospital
has ranked above all other hospitals
in the Northeast in orthopedics and
rheumatology. With more than 5,000
hospitals evaluated nationwide, rankings are based on reputation, quality
measures, nursing care, patient volumes, and mortality rates, as well as
the availability of technology services.
In addition, in New York magazine’s
inaugural issue of “The Best Hospitals,”
Hospital for Special Surgery ranked
first in knee surgery, back surgery,
and hip replacement. In addition, the
Hospital ranked among the top ten
hospitals overall in the tri-state area.
Thirty-five of the Hospital’s physicians
were acknowledged in the magazine’s
“Best Doctors” issue. Chosen by their
peers, these physicians are among
the top two percent of doctors in the
New York area.
Hospital for Special Surgery’s
Department of Nursing, committed to
patient-centered care that exceeds
national nursing standards, earned
Magnet redesignation by the
American Nurses Credentialing
Center (ANCC) in 2006. Accepted
throughout health care as the gold
standard for nursing, Magnet status
recognizes health care institutions
that exemplify excellence in nursing.
Our high nurse recruitment and
retention rates, job satisfaction, and
nurse-to-patient ratios all contributed
to this prestigious honor, making the
Hospital the first in New York City
and in New York State to be twice
designated for nursing excellence by
the ANCC. Hospital for Special
Surgery was first named a Magnet
hospital in 2002, the first hospital in
Manhattan to earn this designation.
Promoting PatientCentered Care
Hospital for Special Surgery continues to raise the bar in the development of people, programs, and
processes to further advance an
environment of quality, patient safety,
and service excellence. In 2006, these
efforts included:
Ambulatory Care
The Hospital has redesigned its
ambulatory care program for orthopedic clinic patients to further enhance
the delivery of both surgical and nonsurgical services. Patient care will be
overseen by an orthopedic surgeon
recruited specifically for this program
and provided by our outstanding team
of attending orthopedic faculty, as
well as residents and fellows. Their
care will be coordinated with a team
of medical physicians and health care
professionals. At Hospital for Special
Surgery, we are committed to providing one level of care to all patients
who come to our Hospital, and this
new clinic reorganization ensures that
this will happen.
Hospitalist Program
Hospital for Special Surgery’s inpatients are benefiting from an expanded hospitalist program, which
provides physicians whose primary
focus is the general medical care of
hospitalized patients. Initiated two
years ago, our hospitalist program has
proven so successful that by July we
will have five full-time hospitalists
who closely monitor and care for any
patient admitted to the Hospital, particularly during nights and weekends.

The Center uses state-of-the-art
imaging techniques to diagnose and
treat orthopedic and rheumatology
conditions. It serves as an educational
resource for medical professionals
and as a research venue for further
study and development of new
approaches that will continue to
shape the direction of ultrasound as it
relates to musculoskeletal diagnosis
and treatment.

strength, and energy efficiency in
individuals of all ages.
Institute for Healthcare
Improvement Initiative
Hospital for Special Surgery continues to maintain a very low incidence
of infections. In 2006, the Hospital
had an overall surgical site infection
rate of 0.29 percent.
The Hospital continues to make
patient safety its top priority. In
accordance with our goal of zero
tolerance for adverse events, the
Hospital participated in the Institute
for Healthcare Improvement’s (IHI)
100,000 Lives Campaign – a national
program for reducing overall morbidity and mortality in American health
care. Adopting IHI’s recommendations
for reducing surgical-related infections, the Hospital – already a leader
in preventing such infections – was
among the top 10 percent of health
care institutions nationally that reliably administered the correct antibiotic at the proper time to prevent
postoperative infection. In addition,
the Hospital undertook several new
performance improvement processes
to track and communicate patients’
medication administration before,
during, and after their stay.
Wellness Programs
To enable patients to continue to
facilitate their recovery, maximize
their mobility, and enhance well-being
after therapy has been completed, the
Department of Rehabilitation Services
has incorporated wellness programs
in their continuum of care. These
programs, including group exercise
classes and workshops, target
patients with specific diagnoses, such
as lower extremity and spine conditions. Additionally, programs offered
through the Integrative Care Center
have grown tremendously, with
classes in tai chi, yoga, pilates, and
osteo fitness. The Hospital’s
Osteoporosis Prevention Center has
relocated to the Integrative Care
Center, complementing the breadth
of their wellness offerings.
Introducing New Facilities
Fall 2006 heralded the completion of
the first phase of the Hospital’s major
building project, adding 85,000 square
feet of new space and 100,000 square
feet of re-engineered and redesigned
space. A new Ambulatory Surgery
Center was built on the ninth floor,
with eight ambulatory surgical suites,
comfortable pre-surgical and recovery
areas, and a spacious family area for
registration, information, and waiting.
Two operating rooms for hand, foot,
and ankle surgery remain open on the
first floor. In addition, a new 8,000square-foot, state-of-the-art Central
Sterile Supply facility was constructed, including dedicated elevator
service to the operating rooms with
one elevator exclusively used for
sterile linens and equipment, furthering the Hospital’s rigorous infectious
control efforts.
The eighth floor added 30 new
inpatient beds in both semi-private
and private rooms. The décor, lighting, and magnificent views of the East
River provide a soothing environment
in which patients can convalesce.
Plans call for an increase in the
number of inpatient operating rooms
from 15 to 21 on the fourth floor by
2010, as well as the addition of two
magnetic resonance imaging machines
in 2007, bringing the Hospital’s
number of MRIs to seven and making
it the nation’s largest academic MR
imaging center dedicated to musculoskeletal medicine.
The Hospital has now embarked on
the next phase of its major building
program. Plans include the construction of a new children’s pavilion in the
existing Hospital, along with two new
inpatient units. A new building will be
constructed that will house two of the
largest services at Special Surgery –
the Arthroplasty Service and the
Sports Medicine and Shoulder Service.
This expansion will make possible the
growth of other specialty services, in
particular, our spine program.
The Arthroplasty Center will serve
as the hub of Special Surgery’s joint
replacement expertise and contain
physicians’ offices, examination
rooms, and on-site radiology services.
The Sports Medicine and Shoulder
Service will contain a state-of-the-art
Sports Rehabilitation and Performance
Center with areas for performance
testing and analysis, using various
terrains to replicate performance
environments.
Advancing Research
In 2006, the Hospital moved forward
with an ambitious plan to better
integrate its basic, translational, and
clinical research efforts. The objective
is to create a platform for insuring
the translation of clinical and basic
science to patient care. The program
more closely aligns research and
clinical priorities and activities and
provides an optimal environment for
education and training.

serving 2.5 million people in northeastern and central Pennsylvania.
Over the years, funding for
Hospital research from the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) has steadily increased. In 2006, a number of
major NIH grants were awarded to
our scientists, including:
Adele Boskey, PhD – a five-year,
$2.8 million grant from the National
Institute of Dental and Craniofacial
Research (NIDCR) to continue to
study the mechanism of bone and
hard tissue mineralization, and three
grants from the National Institute of
Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and
Skin Diseases (NIAMSD); a four-year,
$1.5 million grant to study biological
calcification in vitro; a five-year,
$3.5 million core grant to establish a
Musculoskeletal Repair and
Regeneration Core Center for investigations in this field; and a four-year,
$2.2 million grant to study the FT-IR
microscopy of mineral structure in

34
Of particular note, two of our
orthopedic surgeons – Jo A. Hannafin,
MD, PhD, and Scott A. Rodeo, MD –
have reached a milestone in their biomedical careers with the awarding of
their first R01 grants from the NIH in
the area of anterior cruciate ligament
repair. These awards recognize not
only their record of scientific achievement, but also the importance of the
research of the Hospital’s clinicianscientists to the field of orthopedic
surgery. Dr. Hannafin’s three-year,
$1.1 million award supports her work
to explore the effect of mechanical
stimuli on the structure and function
of the anterior cruciate ligament in
order to facilitate ACL repair, including tissue engineering approaches.
The long-term objective of Dr. Rodeo’s
four-year, $1.4 million award is to
investigate the cellular and molecular
events that control healing at the tendon-to-bone attachment site and to
understand the effect of mechanical
load on inflammation and healing at
this site.
In addition, a five-year, multimilliondollar grant was received from the
Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality to establish a Center for
Education and Research on
Therapeutics (CERT), with a focus
on therapeutic medical devices. The
study is a collaborative effort between
the Arthroplasty Service at Hospital
for Special Surgery and clinical
researchers both at Special Surgery
and Weill Cornell Medical College. The
CERT grant supports research to
evaluate the uses and success of prosthetic orthopedic devices. A comprehensive prospective Total Joint
Replacement Registry is being developed to collect data to address
questions regarding outcomes, variations, and economic impacts of total
joint surgeries. This is the first external major funding of this magnitude
for clinical research at Hospital for
Special Surgery and a landmark
accomplishment.
Pursuing Academic
Achievement
In August 2006, the Division of
Education – which oversees academic
training; professional education;
research education and training; and
patient and public education – hosted
its first annual retreat to review and
discuss strategic plans and develop
education standards of excellence in
communication, accountability, and
professionalism.
In March 2006, the Hospital’s
Residency Selection Committee interviewed 55 of 435 applicants for its
highly competitive and sought-after
orthopedic surgery residency program. Once again, all eight positions
were filled with outstanding candidates coming from the prestigious
university medical schools of
Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Johns
Hopkins, University of Pennsylvania,
Vanderbilt, University of Wisconsin,
and Yale. In June 2006, seven residents and 47 fellows graduated from
the Hospital’s rheumatology and
orthopedic educational programs. An
ACGME site visit of the adult reconstruction fellowship conducted in
April resulted in approval to permanently increase the complement of
fellows from four to six and continued
accreditation for five years. Our annual Department of Health unannounced site visit for monitoring of
resident work hours and supervision
resulted, once again, in full compliance with State regulations.
The Division has established a relationship with the accrediting agency
in Italy to help provide CME courses,
and through our International Visitors
Program hosted 30 Italian orthopedic
surgeons for a two-day comprehensive conference on best practices in
knee replacement. In addition, the
Hospital has formed an affiliation with
Clinica Alemana in Santiago, Chile for
educational and clinical collaboration
and exchange. The orthopedic service
at the Clinica is one of the largest and
most prestigious in South America.
The fourth edition of the HSS
Journal – the only multidisciplinary
musculoskeletal peer-reviewed journal in the world – was published and
distributed to 15,000 medical professionals worldwide. The fifth edition of
the Journal has been broadened to
include articles by faculty from other
institutions.
Patient, public, and professional
education programs continued to
flourish in 2006, reaching more than
4,000 participants. The Greenberg
Academy for Successful Aging, a
collaboration of Hospital for Special
Surgery and NewYork-Presbyterian/
Weill Cornell, held 30 programs
reaching nearly 800 individuals.
Caring for the Best
The Hospital’s physicians and athletic
trainers manage the care of numerous
major professional sports teams and
organizations, including the New York
Mets, New York Giants, New York
Knicks, New York Liberty basketball
team, the Association of Tennis
Professionals, and the U.S. Rowing
Team. Joining this impressive roster
are the New York Red Bulls soccer
team and the New Jersey Nets basketball team. With its new partnership,
the Red Bulls has officially named
Riley J. Williams III, MD, as its team
physician and David S. Levine, MD,

Caring for
Children in the
21st Century
S
ince its founding in 1863,
Hospital for Special Surgery has
been dedicated to the care of
infants, children, and adolescents
with disabilities. Over the years, the
Hospital’s expertise in pediatric
orthopedics and pediatric rheumatology has grown steadily, and our
physicians and health professionals
are recognized worldwide for their
contributions to the diagnosis and
treatment of such complex conditions
as cerebral palsy, limb length discrepancies, club foot, spina bifida, skeletal
dysplasia, juvenile arthritis, and
pediatric lupus.
As the Hospital’s reputation has
grown, so has the number of parents
and caregivers who bring their children to us for care. Today, with nearly
13,000 pediatric patient visits a year,
the time has come to create a dedicated Children’s Pavilion that will
bring together all of our pediatric programs in a beautiful and child-friendly
environment.
“Our goal is to meld the technological advances of a state-of-the-art
specialty hospital with all the personal and caring attributes of a children’s
hospital,” says Roger F. Widmann,
MD, Chief of Pediatrics, who is spearheading its development. “This new
facility will bring together all the
related pediatric disciplines on one
floor to facilitate interaction among
the staff and provide patients and
families with coordinated familycentered care.”
An anonymous donor has contributed a lead gift of $15 million
toward the development of the pavilion, which is scheduled for completion in 2009. The Children’s Pavilion
38
will span the fifth floor and be supported by an increased depth and
range of pediatric staffing and services
and an endowment to perpetuate
the pavilion and its quality care,
important to so many families. The
34,000-square-foot facility will house
an expanded program for outpatients,
a state-of-the-art rehabilitation complex for children with mobility challenges and developmental delays, and
a spacious inpatient unit with singlebedded rooms for privacy, enabling
parents to stay overnight comfortably
with their children. As soon as children
enter the Pavilion – with its cheerful
playroom, and colorful and intriguing
sights – they will know they are in a
wing just for them.
Dr. Roger Widmann (left)
and Dr. David Scher, along
with their colleagues
Walther H.O. Bohne, MD;
Daniel W. Green, MD;
Cathleen L. Raggio, MD; and
Leon Root, MD, have
personally supported the
building of a new Children’s
Pavilion at Hospital for
Special Surgery.
A physician who has dedicated his
life’s work to the musculoskeletal care
of children, David M. Scher, MD, is
playing a key role in the development
of the new pavilion. Says Dr. Scher,
“We treat the wide spectrum of orthopedic conditions in children of all
ages and from all socioeconomic
strata. The image and feeling that we
want to portray is that when our
young patients come here, they know
it’s a special place specifically
designed for them.”
Ruth and Gilbert Scharf and
Matt and Mariko LeBaron know well
the level of expertise that Hospital
for Special Surgery’s pediatric service
provides.
The Scharf’s son Ben suffered a
fracture of his femur at the growth
plate when he was 8 years old. At age
11, he came to see Dr. Widmann,
beginning a nearly year-long treatment process to address complications resulting from the earlier
fracture, including complex surgeries
and a leg lengthening procedure to
correct a 20-degree growth deformity.
Ben will still need another procedure
to complete his treatment, but in
the meantime, he has returned to a
full level of activity, playing tennis,
basketball, and even snowboarding.
“I’m a big believer in giving back,”
says Mr. Scharf, who with his wife, is
generously supporting the Children’s
Pavilion. “Everyone worked as a
well-coordinated team. Ben received
superlative care, and we wanted to
show our gratitude.”
The LeBarons knew that their
daughter Emma would be born with
bilateral club feet. They met with
Dr. Widmann before her birth, and
Emma had her first appointment with
him when she was two days old. Over
the next three years, she underwent a
series of casting, a surgical procedure, and bracing to keep her feet
positioned properly. Now, nearly four
years old, she has completed treatment and is participating in all the
usual activities of children.
“Emma got absolutely first class
medical care at Hospital for Special
Surgery, and we are thankful for
that,” says Mr. LeBaron. “We wanted
Emma LeBaron and
Ben Scharf can enjoy their
childhood thanks to the care
they received at Hospital
for Special Surgery.
to do what we could to help others
have just as good an experience or
better in the new Children’s Pavilion.”
Hospital trustee Susan Rose, a
longtime friend and patient of Special
Surgery, is one of the most ardent
supporters of the Children’s Pavilion.
“Whenever I see a child with a disability
I think about what it does to a mom
and a dad, how it alters a sibling relationship, and most of all, the struggle
of that child trying to conquer it,”
says Mrs. Rose. “I am so happy that
we are expanding our facilities
because we’ve got the top doctors
who can help the children most in
need stand straight and walk well.
I have utmost respect for every one
of the doctors I’ve met – to me they
are just giants.”

Finance Report
The demand for Hospital for Special Surgery’s unique and
specialized inpatient and outpatient services has grown at
a rapid pace over the past few years and it is anticipated
that this trend will continue. This is largely due to the
quality of patient care provided by the Hospital to patients
with musculoskeletal disorders and the increased awareness
thereof. Furthermore, the aging of the population in general,
as well as the growing population of people over 50 years
of age who desire to lead a pain-free and active lifestyle,
are favorable demographic trends for the growth of orthopedics and rheumatology. Patients come to the Hospital
from all over the New York metropolitan area, as well as
nationally and internationally.
In order to continue to accommodate the demand for
the Hospital’s services while also maintaining and enhancing the quality of patient care, we embarked on a major
facility expansion and renovation project during 2005. The
project incorporates additional operating rooms, inpatient
beds, doctor offices, expanded space for ancillary and
support functions, as well as a children’s pavilion to serve
the unique needs of our pediatric patient population.
The first phase of this project was completed at the end
of 2006 and included 60,000 additional square feet. The
second phase of construction immediately followed and
will continue through 2010. Included in this phase is more
than 150,000 square feet of new space and renovation
of existing space. The total cost of the project will be in
excess of $230 million and will be financed by outside
borrowings and a capital fundraising campaign.
The Hospital’s Research Division is internationally
recognized as a leader in the study of the diagnosis and
treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Our commitment
to both basic and clinical research is a component of the
overall Hospital mission and is critical to Special Surgery
maintaining and enhancing its status as a premier institution
in orthopedics and rheumatology. The close relationship
between our clinical and basic researchers enables a rapid
application of scientific discovery to the patient care
setting. During 2006, $29.7 million was dedicated to a
wide variety of research initiatives and programs. The
ongoing recruitment and retention of gifted scientists
40
and clinicians will enable the Hospital to continue to
expand the scope of its research activities and maintain
its leadership position in its fields. In addition to research,
Special Surgery has continued to make significant investments in other programs critical to its mission, including
information technology, patient care enhancements, and
medical education.
Our consistently strong financial results and successful
fundraising campaigns have provided the Hospital with
the resources to make significant investments in personnel
and capital infrastructure in an environment that poses
numerous financial challenges. These challenges include
complex and costly regulatory requirements, labor shortages
in nursing and other critical staff categories, and expense
inflation in excess of revenue inflation.
Hospital for Special Surgery is committed to investing
the resources necessary to advance its ability to provide
the highest quality musculoskeletal care, to train top
orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, physiatrists, and
other related specialists, and to conduct pacesetting
research. In addition, we continue to make extraordinary
progress in the development and implementation of
technology that will enhance our ability to deliver care
in a safe and efficient manner, while at the same time
upgrading the Hospital’s infrastructure to support each
aspect of our mission. As a fiscally sound organization,
the Hospital will continue to manage and grow its financial
resources in order to meet the increasing need for musculoskeletal services and provide care for all patients who
seek our expertise.

Philanthropic Highlights
In 2006, Hospital for Special Surgery experienced a banner year in fundraising, with contributions totaling $34.1 million,
including $27 million for Building on Success: The Campaign for the Future of HSS. This is the greatest amount ever
raised by Special Surgery in a single year.
The Hospital continues to draw extraordinary support from countless individual, foundation, and corporate donors.
Special Surgery is also attracting an increasing number of ambassadors who assist the hospital in community outreach
and achieving philanthropic goals. The Junior Committee, chaired by Matt Paget, Christian Salvati, and Sarah Jane
Sculco in 2006, exemplifies this new level of commitment. We are deeply grateful to all for their generosity and personal
dedication, which helps to ensure our ability to provide the highest level of orthopedic and rheumatological care.
Fundraising in 2006
In 2006, Hospital for Special Surgery
had a number of exciting fundraising
accomplishments. These include:
• An anonymous pledge of $15 million
to successfully launch the development of the Children’s Pavilion,
a “children’s hospital” within the
main hospital
• A record-breaking $2.1 million
raised through the annual gala,
expanding the breadth of unrestricted support for Special Surgery
• Attainment of the $2 million goal
for the Russell Warren Chair in
Orthopedic Research
• More than $1.2 million received
through bequests and the establishment of six new charitable gift
annuities as increasing numbers of
friends and grateful patients are
providing for the hospital in their
estate plans.
Indeed, gifts from individual donors
and their estates was the major source
of support, accounting for 76 percent of
total philanthropic giving. Foundations
provided 15 percent of dollars raised,
while corporations and bequests accounted for 6 percent and 3 percent,
respectively.
Sources of Support 2006
Foundations, $4,964,250, 15%
Corporations, $1,984,074, 6%
Bequests, $1,167,866, 3%
Individuals, $26,024,820, 76%
Building on Success: The Campaign for the Future of HSS
Building on Success is dedicated to
raising support for new clinical facilities and an expanded program of
clinical research. Current and future
patients are the beneficiaries of this
undertaking. This represents both the
largest capital renovation in the history
of Special Surgery, as well as the most
comprehensive initiative aimed at
strengthening disease-based research.
42
To date, Building on Success has
raised nearly $48 million, bolstered by
unprecedented support from Board
members and HSS medical staff
during this quiet, “nucleus” phase.
The Campaign continues to gain
momentum under the leadership
of Campaign Co-Chairs Mrs. Douglas
A. Warner III and Kendrick R. Wilson
III. The medical staff campaign is
being chaired by Surgeon-in-Chief
Thomas P. Sculco, MD, and Leon
Root, MD. In addition, Trustee Chair
Emeritus Richard L. Menschel is
serving as Honorary Chair, having
led the Campaign for Research to its
successful $115 million completion.

A Lifetime of Philanthropy Endures
D
istinguished philanthropist
and a descendant of the
founder of New York’s Cornell
University, George D. Cornell remembered friends, family, and over 30
prestigious institutions in his will. In
2006, Special Surgery received the
final disbursement from the Cornell
Estate for a total of $2.8 million, all
of which will benefit critical advancements in patient care, research, and
education.
George D. Cornell
Revolutionary innovations in
medical care and research
like those highlighted in this
issue of Horizon depend
largely on philanthropic support. Planning a charitable
gift to Hospital for Special
Surgery is a simple, meaningful way to leave a lasting
legacy while making a significant impact on quality of
life. Following is the story of
one donor whose extraordinary bequest plays an important role in the pacesetting
advances in bone and joint
care currently underway at
Special Surgery.
Unassuming Generosity
Mr. Cornell’s affiliation with Special
Surgery began with his wife, Harriet,
an HSS patient who lived with polio
until her passing in 1999. The couple
enjoyed a lifetime of philanthropy,
committing tens of millions of dollars
to numerous organizations and touching many lives along the way. In one
news article highlighting Mr. Cornell’s
philanthropy, his attorney, James
McGarry, said, “Mr. Cornell gave solely
for charitable purposes, and never
sought credit or recognition.”
Described by friends and family as
an unassuming and quietly generous
man, Mr. Cornell had a remarkable
love for animals, particularly his two
Samoyeds who he also named in
his will. “George was a gentle man,”
remarked neighbor and longtime
friend JoAnn Peart. “He treated
everyone the same, no matter who
you were.”
Born in 1910 in Brooklyn Heights,
Mr. Cornell was raised in Central
Valley, New York, by Esther Haviland
and Edward Cornell. His mother was
an heiress to the Haviland china fortune, and his father was a prominent
New York lawyer with the IBM corporation. In 1935, Mr. Cornell graduated
from Rollins College, and pursued a
brief career in finance. Years later, he
returned to Rollins as a trustee, and
together with his wife, was the institution’s greatest benefactor.
Honoring a Quaker Heritage
“Both sides of my family have been
Quakers for many generations,”
Mr. Cornell once said. “Part of the
tradition and spirit of the Quakers is
to give to charity…” In 2003, George
Cornell passed away in his home in
Delray Beach, Florida. His extraordinary bequest to Special Surgery not
only memorializes Mr. Cornell’s life
and love for philanthropy, it will provide critical funding for perfecting
new techniques for the delivery of
care, to advance scientific discovery,
and to help educate the next generation of medical professionals.
Individuals who have named
Hospital for Special Surgery in
their estate plans are recognized as
members of The Wilson Society.
The Society honors the legacy of two
physicians – Philip D. Wilson, Sr.,
MD, and his son, Philip D. Wilson,
Jr., MD, who have helped shape
Special Surgery for more than half of
its existence. If you would like more
information or have included HSS
in your will, please let us know by
contacting Molly Murray, Director of
Major Gifts, at 212-606-1196, so that
we may recognize your generosity.
