Walk with Trillium for joint and bone health
Trillium’s annual Hip Hip Hooray! Walk for orthopaedic health
Lace up those running shoes and take a step or jog with Trillium’s orthopaedic patients, physicians and health care team members to raise money for joint and bone health.
Hip Hip Hooray! provides a fun opportunity for Trillium’s team of orthopaedic surgeons and patients to reconnect post-surgery. Walking across the finish line with their doctor is an important event for many former or recovering patients.
