Orthopedic Mobile Learning Lab Comes to Lourdes Locations

Lourdes Health System will host the Zimmer-Biomet Mobile Learning Center (MLC) from Tuesday, November 15 through Thursday, November 17 at its campus locations. The event is free and open to the public.

Built into a tractor trailer, the Zimmer-Biomet MLC is a traveling education vehicle. The MLC educates the public on a wide range of orthopedic topics and treatment options. Lourdes orthopedic specialists will drop by to talk with visitors and answer questions while the bus is at each campus location.

Lourdes physicians welcome community members, patients, students and healthcare professionals to get a first-hand view of the world’s latest orthopedic innovations and learn about joint health solutions in this state-of-the-art educational vehicle.

“We are excited to host the Zimmer-Biomet Mobile Learning Center,” said Dr. Sean McMillan, Chief of Orthopedics at Lourdes. “This is a great opportunity for community members to learn about what goes into joint replacement surgery, get hands-on experience with joint replacement devices, and find out about the latest technologies to help restore mobility, alleviate pain and improve quality of life for patients.”
