2020

This year 102 volunteers from all over Canada changed the lives of 35 adults and 25 children with desperately needed orthopedic surgeries. Four of the adults and ten children had more than one surgery. Our youngest patient was only a year old; our oldest was 77. This year we had a representative from Smith & Nephew join our team. Smith & Nephew has been a long-term supporter of CAMTA, donating prostheses for our patients in quantities valued upwards of $100,000.00 per year!
