Letter From the Board Chair
Like many of you, I am eager for the duck hunting season to begin. Not just because the forecast looks great. Thanks to Campbell Clinic’s Dr. Drew Murphy, my ankle is stronger and I’m faster than I’ve been in a decade.
Great doctors don’t just happen by chance; they have a strong support system, they put in the work and they keep up with the research to continuously improve. They go out of their way to take care of patients. And with
Gary Stavrum, Chairman
the Campbell Clinic Foundation, we fuel the best care possible while serving our community:
We have a tradition of honoring our leaders like Dr. Greer Richardson, a 2025 Pillar of AOFAS. (p. 4)
We freely share expertise and care through resident mission trips and physician fellowships.
We invest in the future with high school Orthopaedic Exploration Days and college internships. (p. 5 & 7)
I am so proud to support the Foundation and encourage you to make a gift so your kids, neighbors and friends can stay on their feet and enjoy the incredible and dedicated care we receive now.
Warm regards,
Gary Stavrum Chairman of the Board, Board of Trustees

How Greta Newhouse Got Back in the Game
High school athlete Greta Newhouse is a grateful patient. A competitive soccer player, Greta was injured in a routine scrimmage. Seeking treatment right away at Campbell Clinic, she was diagnosed with a torn ACL. After meeting with her care team and discussing the options, she opted for surgery. Greta says, “I was impressed and reassured that my knee would be fully repaired.” After surgery, Greta worked with physical therapists James Tutor and Kristy Adams, who were intentional and encouraging all along the way.
It started as one of the most difficult things I’ve experienced physically--not having ever been injured prior to this. The recovery seemed unreachable but with the Campbell team, they helped me see that the initial struggle was possible to overcome. Through this, I’ve learned the value of a strong support team and persistence needed to turn a bad event into a formative process I won’t forget.
Athletes of all ages benefit from the Campbell Clinic Foundation’s work, including research on ACL repair and coordination with physical therapy. When you support the Foundation, you help athletes get back on the field, and people of all ages keep or regain their mobility.
What’s YOUR story? Share it at www.campbell-foundation.org/patient and consider a gift to honor someone who has helped you move... or moved your life!
Jabin Newhouse, Greta’s father, owns the Biggby Coffee franchise in Germantown. For two years, Biggby has supported the Memphis Turkey Trot – a Thanksgiving tradition with proceeds benefiting the Campbell Clinic Foundation. We are grateful to Biggby and to Greta for sharing her story.
AOFAS Honors
Dr. Greer Richardson as Pillar
In September, during the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Annual Meeting in Savannah, Georgia, more than 70 Campbell family and friends—representing five decades of residents and fellows—gathered to honor Dr. Greer Richardson who was named a Pillar of the AOFAS.
E. Greer Richardson, MD, joined the Campbell Clinic in 1976 after completing a hand fellowship. In 1983, he shifted his focus to foot and ankle surgery and embraced this new specialty with enthusiasm. He authored more than 35 book chapters, held editorial roles in several prominent scientific journals, including editor-in-chief of Foot & Ankle International, and served as AOFAS president from 2002-2003.
As a professor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and founder of the UTHSC-Campbell Clinic Foot and Ankle Fellowship, Dr. Richardson mentored generations of orthopaedic surgeons.
Care & Hope at CP Center
We honor World Cerebral Palsy Day in October each year. Spirit and decor (and Nine-Oh-One cookies) celebrate our patients, the dedicated CP Center team and the partnership with Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital to provide care and treatment for children with cerebral palsy.
Patients and families love receiving treats and encouragement.
We are deeply grateful for Dr. Richardson’s lifelong impact on orthopaedic patients and medicine, and for the many donations honoring him and supporting ongoing Foot and Ankle research and education initiatives!
New Program Director Walks the Walk
On July 1, Dr. Clayton Bettin (Class of 2015) (far right) took the helm as Program Director for the UTHSC-Campbell Clinic Orthopaedic Surgery Residency. He succeeds Dr. Derek Kelly (far left) who served in the role since 2020. Drs. Christopher Cosgrove, Stephanie Chen and Christopher Holland serve as Associate Program Directors, who lead resident training, research and skill development.
Dr. Bettin is passionate about developing great surgeons and great people. “At the Campbell Clinic, our residency program is guided by more than just tradition — it is grounded in purpose. For over a century, we have trained orthopaedic surgeons who exemplify excellence in both technical skill and personal character.”

Friends shared heartfelt tributes to celebrate Dr. E. Greer Richardson (L) and his wife, Carol.
Research in Action
The Center of Excellence for Cerebral Palsy Care and Research was established to meet a critical need. Before the Center, patients often saw specialists on different days and locations, with little comprehensive care. This was challenging for families already juggling so much.
The CP Center was made possible through a gift from the Children’s Foundation of Memphis and the combined commitment of the Campbell Clinic and Le Bonheur. With resources and experts together under one roof, families receive a care plan tailored specifically for their child.
The team includes orthopaedic surgeons, nurse practitioners, therapists, seating specialists, orthotists, a social worker and a research nurse. This collaborative approach means each patient’s medical, physical, and functional needs are considered together, creating a more complete and effective plan of care.
The Foundation supports the CP Center’s research and resources for orthopaedic co-directors Dr. Stephanie Chen and Dr. David Spence to offer specialized surgical expertise.
The CP Center is more than a doctor’s appointment; it’s a place where local care and global expertise come together for every child and family who needs it.
Donations to the Campbell Clinic Foundation support teaching and capable, compassionate patient care. It ensures the best outcomes in mobility and well-being for children and adults.

College Today, Surgeon Tomorrow
This summer, the Foundation collaborated with the UTHSC Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Biomedical Engineering to host the 2025 Orthopaedic Internship.
Interns Cate Drane (University of Mississippi, rising senior), Emma Roden (Mississippi State University, rising junior), and Ashley Wilwerding (University of Nebraska–Lincoln, rising junior) shadowed orthopaedic surgeons in operating rooms and clinics; followed residents on hospital rotations; worked side-by-side in labs with leading PhDs and networked with healthcare
industry and hospital leaders.
“It’s a privilege to host these exceptional students and to incorporate them into our clinical and research teams,” said Clayton C. Bettin, MD, FAAOS. “Each one maximized the opportunity. They represent the future of orthopaedics. We are happy to assist them in their journey.”
We are honored to carry forward the legacy of pioneers like Dr. Lucie King, Class of 1983, and build pathways for students who aspire to join this medical specialty.
Drs. Anne and Richard Hayes Honor Mentorship, Training with Education Suite
Drs. Anne and Richard Hayes embody the spirit of giving back and investing in those who follow in their footsteps. In recognition of their support, the Drs. Anne & Richard Hayes Education Suite, adjacent to the Kay Daugherty Orthopaedic Center, will serve as a hub for resident and fellowship team members who facilitate orthopaedic education.
Graduates of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine (Class of 1987), Drs. Anne and Richard Hayes built their careers in Nevada. Richard completed the UTHSC-Campbell Clinic Orthopaedic Surgery Residency in 1992. Anne completed her UTHSC Dermatology Residency in 1991 and Dermatopathology Fellowship at UT-Memphis by 1992. They credit their transition into medicine and successful careers to the exceptional training and mentorship they received.
We are deeply grateful to Drs. Anne and Richard Hayes for their generosity and commitment to the Campbell Clinic Foundation. Their gift honors the tradition of excellence that defines Campbell training and ensures future residents and fellows learn and grow in an environment built for their success.
Linda Jones’ Legacy and Lasting Impact
You may not know her name, but you have felt her impact. Campbell Clinic Foundation Editor Linda Jones shaped orthopaedic education from 1986 to her retirement in September. Dr. Fred Azar shares, “She faithfully and tirelessly edited and refined our publications. Her work serves as a testament to her unwavering dedication to excellence in writing and education.”
During her career, Linda was involved in seven editions of Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics, in addition to Campbell Orthopaedic Journal, Current Orthopaedic Practice, Foot and Ankle International, and Orthopedic Clinics of North America. In addition, she mentored generations of surgeons, staff and researchers, placing trust and precision above all else.
As Foundation Editor since 2021, she has been a steady leader, a trusted partner, and a voice of reason. Her passion for producing quality information is second to none. More than a colleague, she has been a
The True Measure of Friendship
If the best measure of a person or organization’s worth is their friendships, then the Campbell Clinic Foundation is worth more than gold!
Members of the Campbell Clinic Central Business Office (BSSII) Team are active Foundation Friends. They donate monthly and regularly volunteer.
Each year, they faithfully prepare an auction basket for Campbell Celebrates that often wins the department basket contest. They routinely donate winnings back to the Foundation, doubling their impact on outreach programs.
They also set the standard for excellent service at the Clinic, to both its external and internal customers. The CBO/
BSSII team consists of 17 dedicated employees, including a coordinator, four credentialing specialists, 11 billing staff members, and one support professional. They manage physician credentialing, claim hold resolution, and medical billing—three interconnected functions vital to the Clinic’s operations.
We asked Michelle Leem, the team’s coordinator, to explain what drives her team to support the Foundation:
“We are inspired by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in ways that extend beyond
teacher, confidante and friend.
Linda retired on September 30, 2025, staying long enough to complete the 15th Edition of Campbell’s Operative.
daily operations. It allows us to contribute to groundbreaking research and enable our physicians to serve in communities with critical healthcare needs, both locally and globally. We are genuinely honored to be part of such a purpose-driven organization and proud to play a role in advancing its vital mission.”
CBO/BSSII Team, we are so proud to work with you and honored to call you FOUNDATION FRIENDS!

Campbell Celebrates
On September 19, the FedEx Event Center at Shelby Farms was transformed into the ultimate tailgate party. Fans showed up in full spirit — Bulldogs and Buckeyes, Tigers and Terps… and even a coach who looked like he’d stepped right out of Animal House.
Halfway through the evening, the the University of Memphis Spirit Squad and Pouncer swept into the room. Dr. Fred Azar opened followed by the Voice of the Tigers’ Dave Woloshin leading the live auction. Then came the moment that truly captured the Foundation’s mission: donors raising their bid cards to support orthopaedic education, research, and outreach.
Campbell Celebrates GAME DAY raised more than $213,000 for our orthopaedic outreach and service programs.
Stay tuned for our encore auction in December!
