A Word from the CEO & Board of Directors
Greetings Friends of Highlands Foot and Ankle Institute!
The Board of Directors wish to invite you to our next ski seminar at Steamboat Springs next February. We are excited to see old friends and meet new ones. After this past year of COVID restrictions, we are all in need for face-to-face fellowship and renew the excitement for learning.
The board is in the process of developing new and exciting lectures. We will have the old crew plus new lecturers present. As always, we cherish the intimacy and friendly debate that characterizes our unique conference. The lectures will be broken down into new innovations, panel discussions, debates, and review of complications.
We have changed the venue from Vail to Steamboat Springs. Steamboat Springs boasts of “the best powder experience in Colorado”. The new change will be exciting. It will also be more affordable than Vail. Additionally, we plan to do more family-oriented activities.
Looking forward to seeing you,
Matthew Paden, DPM, FACFAS
