Dr. Levine is Named of the Walk to Cure Arthritis

Virtual Walk Takes Place Saturday, May 15 to Raise Funds for Arthritis Research, Resources and a Cure

Dr. Mathew E. Levine, an orthopaedic surgeon at Atlanta-based Resurgens Orthopaedics, has been named the Medical Honoree of the Arthritis Foundation's 2021 Walk to Cure Arthritis Georgia, which will take place on May 15.

The Walk to Cure Arthritis is an annual event which is virtual this year, featuring events across the country throughout the month of May so anyone can participate from anywhere.

Dr. Levine helped launch the Georgia Virtual Walk at a kick-off event on Sunday, April 18. (Photos of the kick-off event are in the link below). Dr. Levine practices in the Resurgens Orthopaedics offices in Cumming and Roswell and specializes in hip and knee replacement.

More than 54 million Americans - including 300,000 children - live with the debilitating pain and daily challenges of arthritis. For the virtual Walk this year, the Arthritis Foundation's national goal is for participants to walk 54 million steps to fight arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation is encouraging participants to give 54 dollars, tell 54 people about arthritis and move 54 steps, minutes or miles - and share it all on social media.

"It is an honor to be recognized by the Arthritis Foundation, an organization that I admire for their commitment to education, research and to making the lives of millions of people better through their important work," said Dr. Levine.

"Arthritis affects more than 1.9 million adults in the state of Georgia," said Carrie Mapp, Arthritis Foundation Associate Director, Georgia. "We are grateful for the long-term partnership with Resurgens Orthopaedics in the fight against arthritis. Their support enables us to double-down on our proven strategies to change the future of arthritis, America's #1 cause of disability."

The Resurgens Charitable Foundation and Dr. Levine donated financially to this years' Arthritis Walk. To join Dr. Levine on Team Joint Effort, please visit:
