“The community that BronxCare Health System serves represents about 30 million people. We had a vision that if we could engineer the combination of both primary care orthopedics and access to specialty care here, not only would we solve the problem for our own community — which is our primary focus — but maybe we could also start answering some difficult questions that would be transferable to other parts of the country.”
– Ira Kirschenbaum, M.D., Chair of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at BronxCare Health System
