Former Patients Celebrate “Joint” Experience with Second Annual Walk-A-Thon at Florida Hospital Celebration Health

Before their joint replacement, they may not have dreamed of walking a mile, but now hundreds of patients who have had joints replaced by Dr. David Dore at Florida Hospital Celebration Health are lacing up their walking shoes to raise money for the National Arthritis Foundation.

WHAT:  These men and women are just some of the more than 1,000 patients who are enjoying pain-free living and a better quality of life thanks to Dr. David Dore’s joint replacement technique.  As the Medical Director of the Joint Replacement Center at Florida Hospital Celebration Health, Dr. Dore performs several hundred joint replacements each year through a program he designed to provide patients with the best possible outcomes and surgical experiences.  Now, Dr. Dore is bringing together hundreds of past patients who have undergone total knee and hip replacements at Florida Hospital Celebration Health.  These patients, who last year raised more than $30,000 for the National Arthritis Foundation, will celebrate their new lease on life with a one mile walk.
