For June 2025,  SIGN Fracture Care  Project was chosen

********************

Wenatchee Downtown Kiwanis is celebrating its 100th Anniversary 

with its "Year of Giving."

 SIGN gives the injured poor access to fracture surgery by donating orthopaedic education and implant systems to surgeons in low- and middle-income countries. 

"Treating long bone fractures in developing countries is like climbing a mountain.

Since SIGN Fracture Care started in 1999, we have been taking small steps and making constant improvements. Now, we have reached the peak. We have largely solved the problem of how to treat those injuries. But reaching the peak of the mountain revealed more mountains to climb. 

We are still learning and improving as we take on these new challenges.”
