President’s Letter I hope 2006 was as good a year for all of you as it was for Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush (MOR). We were proud to see the Rush University Medical Center (Rush) Orthopaedic Program continue its move up in the ranks in U.S.News & World Report’s “America’s Best Hospitals.” In three years we have moved from 10th to sixth in the nation, and we expect to keep this positive momentum going. We also continued to grow and expand our organization and service lines during 2006 by adding a number of new physicians and subspecialties. First, we filled the pediatric orthopaedic surgeon void by signing Monica Kogan, MD, who comes to MOR from Children’s Hospital in Oakland, California. Dr. Kogan started with MOR in October and has been a fantastic addition to our organization. We feel very fortunate to have Dr. Kogan as a part of our team and are pleased to be able to provide these much-needed services. Our Pediatric Program was further strengthened with the addition of Jeffrey Mjaanes, MD, a primary care sports medicine physician. In August, Dr. Mjaanes joined us part-time after completing his primary care sports medicine fellowship at Advocate Lutheran General. Dr. Mjaanes primarily practices at the Winfield office and supports our Athletic Training Outreach Program. Two days a week he also continues as a practicing pediatrician with Rush’s pediatric department. Another new addition in 2006 was Johnny Lin, MD, a foot and ankle specialist. Dr. Lin is stationed primarily at our Winfield office, but he also sees patients at Rush and Oak Park Hospitals. MOR was well-acquainted with Dr. Lin because he completed his orthopaedic residency at Rush before his fellowship training at the renowned Campbell Clinic in Nashville. We believe that Dr. Lin, as the third physician member of the foot and ankle team, will provide the critical mass the program needs to take off, both clinically and academically. In January, longtime, highly regarded spinal deformity surgeons Christopher DeWald, MD, and K.W. Hammerberg, MD, joined our team. The addition of Drs. DeWald and Hammerberg consolidates most of the Rush Orthopaedic Program under the MOR banner. It also immediately established MOR as one of the leading spinal deformity practices in the nation. Adding world-renowned physicians and surgeons was not the only thing MOR was up to in 2006. We also added a new location. The Westchester patient office opened in November and is providing a wide range of orthopaedic services in a convenient location. In addition, the stateof-the-art orthopaedic ambulatory building on Rush’s campus is expected to open in 2009. Lastly, we are proud and excited to continue our team relationships with the Bulls, White Sox, World Champion Chicago Rush, Chicago Bandits, and other sports teams and cultural arts programs. If there is anything we can do to improve your experience with our organization, please contact me or MOR’s CEO, Dennis Viellieu, at (708) 236-2611. Here’s to good health and a great year for all!

This continued improvement in the annual rankings validates the commitment and excellence of our physicians, researchers, and staff, as well as what we already knew: We are one of the best orthopaedic departments in the country. I’m pleased to announce further consolidation on the part of the practicing physicians at Rush. Drs. DeWald and Hammerberg have decided to merge with Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush (MOR), adding two nationally renowned deformity surgeons to our already highly successful spine practice. Consolidation is key as we move forward into new and better space. Regarding the orthopaedic ambulatory building project, we continue to make great progress. Eventually, this project will allow us to consolidate all of our Rush and downtown practice facilities and provide complete diagnostic and outpatient treatment for patients with all types of musculoskeletal injuries and diseases. In addition to the ambulatory building project, we are expanding our diagnostic facilities to include the latest technology and developing a large physical therapy facility capable of accommodating our everyday patients as well as world-class professional athletes. I’d also like to mention the learning center we are planning, where we will disseminate our knowledge and inventions to other physicians and the latest products will be brought in for the benefit of our residents and fellows. All in all, 2006 was a tremendous year for MOR. We experienced continued clinical growth and were awarded large research grants from federal and industry sources. As we continue to grow, I am confident we will continue to provide efficient, high-quality, and compassionate services to our patients.
