(ELMA, WA) – Join us online for a free virtual Community Education Event Tuesday, Dec. 13, at 5:30 p.m. via Facebook live. Our special guest is Dr. Robert M. Bernstein, Chief of Staff at Shriners Hospital for Children in Portland. He is an American Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon who specializes in Scoliosis & Spinal Deformity and Skeletal Dysplasia (dwarfism). He serves on the Board of Directors at another charity, Mending Kids International. He enjoys spending time with his four grown children, cycling, hiking and wine tasting.

Those that join us will have the opportunity to discover how to identify the six red flags when a child complains about back pain, create a differential diagnosis of back pain, discuss the normal alignment of the spine, and create a differential diagnosis of scoliosis.

SPMC hosts a series of free Community Education Events the second Tuesday of each month. Please visit www.summitpacificmedicalcenter.org or find Summit Pacific on Facebook to view upcoming events.
