Ensuring a legacy for greatness

A generous $1 million gift from Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson and his wife, Mary, to the University at Buffalo Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine will help ensure the future orthopedists of tomorrow get exceptional training and preparation today.

"This generous gift from Mr. and Mrs. Wilson means the difference between a good program and an exceptional one for our sports medicine residents and fellows here at UB."
– Dr. John Marzo, UB Orthopaedics

The Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, which teach and train five orthopaedic residents and two sports medicine fellows per year, have earmarked the grant for the following:

• Purchasing an Arthroscopy Simulator and other equipment for the arthroscopy lab
• Hiring a sports medicine clinical research coordinator to oversee major research studies
• Purchasing ImPACT Software and providing further research opportunities through the UB Ortho Concussion Management Clinic 
• Supporting the Buffalo Bills Sports Medicine Symposium
