Atrium Health issued the following announcement on June 6.
Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute and OrthoCarolina are teaming up to provide complete orthopedic and sports medicine care in Lincoln County, giving the local community access to nationally-recognized care close to home for the first time.
The combination of orthopedic and sports medicine care will consist of two practice locations that are united by a unique care pathway. The sports medicine practice offers quick access for all non-surgical needs and concussion management, as well as advanced imaging and physical therapy.
The practices, Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute Sports Medicine Lincolnton and OrthoCarolina Lincolnton, are located at 447 McAlister Road, Suite 3400, and 441 McAlister Road, Suite 1100-A, respectively. This integrated network of experts combines the services of board-certified sports medicine and orthopedic surgery specialists into one comprehensive program.
“The collaboration between Atrium Health and OrthoCarolina reflects the state-of-the-art and patient-centered care that our teams provide to our neighbors in the Lincolnton community,” said Dr. Claude T. Moorman III, president of Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute. “We look forward to continuing to work hand-in-hand with our patients to reach outstanding outcomes and meet their goals – getting them back to the activities they love.”
Services offered at the practices include musculoskeletal care for foot, ankle, hand, wrist, hip, knee, shoulder, elbow and spine, as well as physiatry, sports medicine and rehabilitation. The locations consist of a total of ten sports medicine and orthopedic physicians, a physician assistant and a team of registered nurses. Patients will have access to the latest techniques and technologies for care close to home and with a team of trusted medical professionals who are their neighbors and advocates for their health. This collaborative approach and support between Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute and OrthoCarolina will provide further access to advanced musculoskeletal care to those across the greater Charlotte region.
“OrthoCarolina's mission is to create a healthier community and the partnership with Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute provides a synergism to accomplish these goals resulting in unparalleled value and quality in patient care,” said Dr. Edward Walker, orthopedic surgeon with OrthoCarolina. “The collaborative effort between these organizations is an incredible opportunity for advances to be made in musculoskeletal health both locally and abroad.”
Board-certified physicians, physician assistants, nurses and therapists who specialize in innovative, effective surgical and nonsurgical treatment for a wide range of conditions from fractures and sprains to painful joints will be available to patients. Through this effort, patients will receive an unmatched level of expertise in the Southeast.
