Team Össur member Richard Whitehead MBE has always defied ordinary! Yesterday, he completed his 80th marathon and set yet another world record! Amazing to have collaborated with Nissan Motor Corporation (Nissan UK) on this one-of-a-kind Nissan ARIYA which has been modified to transport his Össur running prosthetics to help make all his training sessions as efficient as possible. The car even incorporates charging in his seat so he can power his Rheo Knee XC walking prostheses whilst driving. Congratulations Richard on your new world record of 2:41:36 at the 2024 Chicago Marathon! Photos: David Baird and Nissan UK

How can Healthcare Balance Patient Care with Environmental Sustainability? The U.S. healthcare industry is responsible for 10% of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions. While dedicated to improving health, it also impacts the environment. So, what steps can we take today to be responsible for tomorrow? Esteemed orthopedic surgeons Dr. Ian Engler and Dr. Lorraine Boakye urge us to recognize the environmental effects of our daily decisions. By adopting sustainable practices in healthcare, we can make a significant difference in reducing our environmental footprint.
