Haiti – Stepping Up and Out – The Orthopaedic Medical Community Responds

Dr. Bradley Walter

When tragic situations such as earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes and other disasters hit local communities one global community at large steps up. The Medical Community. I am proud to be a part of such a responsive group of people, organizations, and companies. It is not possible to point out all the exceptional examples of this large medical community at work, but JISRF wants to highlight one individual that represents the best part of this community.

Dr. Bradley Walter practices Orthopedic Surgery in Thomasville, Georgia. Dr. Walter is 41 years old and graduated from medical school 16 years ago. He is a general orthopaedist with special interest in total joints and sport medicine. He is married with six children.
