3B Research Foundation
The Research and Development Program
At The Philadelphia Center for Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery
Meaningful clinical advancements and progress in the care of the arthritic knee and the outcomes of knee replacement surgery come only with honest and dedicated research and assessment. For years, I have been involved in the scientific investigation of the various treatment alternatives for arthritis of the knee, and that emphasis continues at the Philadelphia Center for Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery. At the Center, our academic emphasis is on the evaluation of various treatments of knee arthritis, surgical techniques, and knee replacement designs. Scientific investigation is meaningless unless it is shared with the broader orthopaedic community and the public. The cost of rigorous scientific investigation is not nominal - salaried personnel, statistical analysis, study design, compensation of subjects participating in prospective studies, and the costs associated with the production of presentations and scientific publications are just a few of the expenses that are incurred when performing clinical research.
I would be honored if you would consider making a tax deductible donation to the 3B Medical Research and Education Foundation, earmarked for the Philadelphia Center for Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery to help offset some of these expenses. The funding that you provide will support ongoing and future research endeavors, production and presentation of papers, publications, as well as educational material, video, and website development and maintenance. The 3B Medical Research and Education Foundation is a tax exempt, non-profit organization.
I would be happy to discuss personally with you the details of a charitable donation. Donations can be made out to 3B Medical Research and Education Foundation, Inc., and sent to my attention: Jess H. Lonner, M.D., Director, Philadelphia Center for Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery, 800 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
Sincerely,
Jess H. Lonner, MD |
