Robert M. Hollinshead, M.D., FRCSC
Calgary, AB

The COA Award of Merit is presented to orthopaedic surgeons who work behind the scenes to make the Association a success. They are leaders in their field, contributing to all aspects of bone and joint care.

Dr. Geoffrey H. Johnston has been a leader in upper extremity surgery since joining the Faculty at the University of Saskatchewan in 1985, then being promoted to tenured Professor in 1995. He has made extensive contributions to clinical research and teaching and for the last three years has been Joint Chief of Surgical Services for Saskatoon District Health. Presently completing his MBA, he has held medical licenses in Massachusetts, Kentucky, California and Michigan but fortunately for the COA, he has stayed here in Canada. Geoff has served as Chair of the Exchange Fellowship Committee and been a member of our Specialty Committee since 1993, serving as its Chair for the last six years.

Congratulations!
