The Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine was a partner in Music in Motion on Oct. 2, 2011, an evening of musical entertainment in support of bone and joint health care in ß÷ßäÉçÇø. The events in Calgary and Edmonton raised more than $500,000 for bone and joint related research in ß÷ßäÉçÇø, with $172,000 to support bone and joint-related clinical research fellowships at the ß÷ßäÉçÇø.
This year's musical showcase included the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra/Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Tommy Banks and special friends, Jens Lindemann, and the ß÷ßäÉçÇø Ballet. Canadian singing sensation Nikki Yanofsky closed both venues with I Believe, the Vancouver Winter Olympics theme song.
The Calgary Health Trust, Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation, Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation, ß÷ßäÉçÇø Bone & Joint Institute, ß÷ßäÉçÇø Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine and McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health teamed up on this pan-ß÷ßäÉçÇø initiative and succeeded in reaching their one simple goal: To improve the care and rehabilitation that musculoskeletal patients receive across ß÷ßäÉçÇø.
