Tributes

S. TERRY CANALE, MD

It is with humble appreciation and admiration that we dedicate the seventh edition of Campbell’s Orthopaedic Journal to Editor-in-Chief, Dr. S. Terry Canale. Dr. Canale takes great pride in this position and works tirelessly to continue to improve “the COJ.” Dr. Canale is also the former Editor of Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics and deeply committed to orthopaedic research and education. He has played a vital role in Campbell’s long-standing commitment to world-wide orthopaedic education and made it a priority to ensure that each publication provides valuable and up-to-date information. His enthusiasm for this work will continue to infl uence and inspire every publication and paper which bear his name.

KAY C. DAUGHERTY

It is with equal appreciation and regard that we dedicate this edition to Kay C. Daugherty, who has played a pivotal role in seven editions of Campbell’s Orthopaedic Journal and has served as the managing editor of the last nine editions of Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics. Over the last 42 years, she has faithfully and tirelessly edited, reshaped, and overseen all aspects of publications from manuscript preparation to proofi ng. She has a profound talent to put ideas and disjointed words into comprehensible text, ensuring that each revision maintains the gold standard in readability. Each publication is a testament to her dedication to excellence in writing and education. A favorite quote of Mrs. Daugherty to one of our late authors was, “I’ll make a deal. I won’t operate if you won’t punctuate.” We are grateful for her many years of continual service to the Campbell Foundation and for the publications yet to come.

GEORGE HERNANDEZ

We are deeply grateful to George Hernandez who served as CEO of the Campbell Clinic and Executive Director of the Campbell Foundation from 2010-2020. When George began his career as CFO at the Campbell Clinic in 1995, revenues were $30 million and by 2019 they exceeded $300 million. During his time as CEO, he guided the Clinic through the enormous task of building a state-of-the-art center in Germantown that opened in 2019, enhancing patient care and access with an ambulatory surgery center, expanded physical therapy, and the ACCEL Performance and Wellness Center.

Under George’s leadership, the Campbell Foundation also experienced tremendous growth. Research activity increased tenfold, with more than 150 active studies in the last year alone. An explosion of publications included the introduction of the Campbell Orthopaedic Journal and Current Orthopaedic Practice. Resident training was enriched by the Molly Shumate Scholarship, which was introduced in 2012 to provide residents valuable training through international medical trips. In 2018 the Center for Excellence for Cerebral Palsy Care and Research at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital opened, servicing families throughout the Mid-South area. Thanks to George’s dedication and vision, the Foundation’s work continues to reach around the globe.

During the unprecedented 2020 year, George’s steady hand led the way through the Covid crisis, with both the Clinic and the Foundation emerging stronger than ever. For this and his other accomplishments, we are indebted.
