FISHERSVILLE, VIRGINIA — Augusta Health has some exciting news! Shenandoah Valley Orthopedics and Sports Medicine (SVOSM), an orthopedic practice beloved in the area for 50 years, will be joining the Augusta Medical Group this fall. This move is a big step for Augusta Health as it continues to focus on providing top-notch orthopedic care to the community.
Reflecting on its golden anniversary, SVOSM looks back on its history of helping countless patients in the Shenandoah Valley. Dr. Ramon Esteban, an orthopedist at SVOSM, shared, “As we celebrate this milestone, we want to thank everyone who has been part of this journey. Your trust means everything to us, and we are eager to partner with Augusta Health for many more years of service.”
This partnership will allow Augusta Health to expand its Center for Orthopedic Medicine, bringing in advanced technology and enhancing the quality of care. Kris Doan, the President of Augusta Medical Group, expressed enthusiasm about SVOSM’s arrival, saying, “This addition broadens our services to meet the growing needs of our community. We’re excited to build on the solid foundation SVOSM has established.”
The integration of SVOSM ensures that the community will continue to have access to a wide range of orthopedic services. It also improves collaboration between various departments, such as the Emergency Department and physical therapy, making patient care more coordinated. Mary N. Mannix, President and CEO of Augusta Health, emphasized the importance of this partnership, announcing, “We’re excited to deepen our relationship with SVOSM and share our commitment to excellent care.”
This collaboration is a reminder of how crucial orthopedic services are for community health. With the support of Augusta Health and the Mayo Clinical Care Network, SVOSM patients can expect high-quality orthopedic care at its Fishersville and Harrisonburg offices.
As we celebrate this new partnership, it’s insightful to note that according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, nearly 33 million Americans receive care for musculoskeletal conditions each year. That underscores the importance of services like those offered by SVOSM and Augusta Health. Together, they are set to provide top-tier care for many more years to come.
