GREENFIELD – On Wednesday, nearly 70 people attended the 17th annual “Best Foot Forward Golf Tournament” at Brookhaven Golf Course organized by the staff and doctors of OrthoNY.

The company has offices throughout the Capital Region that connect patients with physicians who specialize in hip, knee and joint replacements; the treatment of foot, ankle, shoulder, elbow and back injuries; plus general orthopedic and sports medicine. Its website is https://orthony.com/

“The idea is to celebrate the patients’ return to physical activity,” explained Regina Colaes, the OrthoNY site operations manager. “Over the years it’s built a lot of camaraderie. There’s no pressure about being a good golfer.”

A $10,000 prize was offered to anyone in the tournament who managed to get a hole-in-one, but Colaes said it did not happen this year. There were other awards handed out, and most attendees were grateful for the abundant warmth this late in September. 

Colaes said about 80 people attended the luncheon at the tournament, which included a presentation given by Dr. Jonathan Gainor.

Dr. Gainor shared his experiences from a recent volunteer trip he made to the South American country of Bolivia, organized by a group called Operation Walk Virginia. According to Colaes, the doctor spent days performing “non-stop knee replacements and hip replacements” in Bolivia. Earlier this year, she added, Gainor joined Dr. Lawrence Fein in another trip to the African country of Rwanda to teach medical students.
