Hughston Clinic
The achievements of the late orthopedic surgeon Jack C. Hughston, MD, are inextricably entwined with the historic accomplishments of the Hughston Clinic that he established in 1949, exemplifying what is possible when original ideas for orthopedic care and research are actualized by individuals with vision and drive.
Those familiar with its reputation said the clinic, based in Columbus, GA, mainly gained worldwide respect as a private pioneering orthopedic center after Hughston almost single-handedly elevated sports medicine to a level of acceptance enjoyed by only a few orthopedic subspecialties at the time.
Today, over 70 orthopedic surgeons of the Hughston Clinic serve 30 locations across the United States. In 1968, the Hughston Foundation, a nonprofit institution was founded and dedicated to research, education and training. A physician-owned hospital, Jack Hughston Memorial Hospital, was added to the Hughston enterprise in 2008, creating a complete vertically integrated health system for orthopedic care.
