Dr. George Grammatopoulos

It has been less than a month since I arrived in Ottawa from the UK to work within The Ottawa Hospital’s Orthopedic Department. Being new to this city, country and even continent I thought what better way to show the enthusiasm I have for The Ottawa Hospital and our Orthopedic Department’s research than competing for the coveted Medicine Ball Trophy!

I will be competing and fundraising for the Orthopedic Research Chair, held by Dr. Coutu. He is a star researcher who will focus on the fundamental biology of bone stem cells in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine. By studying both the engineering and biological process associated with musculoskeletal health/disease, The Ottawa Hospital will be at the forefront of developments with an aim to improve the quality of life of millions of people locally, nationally and internationally.

While I will be leaving my style of dance as a surprise for the night (as still undecided), I can tell you that my instructor and I are hard at work creating a dance (medley) that will try to show each person in the audience a great time and live up to the expectations of such a great event!

Please consider supporting my dancing and fundraising endeavour, so we can continue to provide excellence in patient care, and advance research right here in Ottawa.
