About Us

WSOA Mission Statement
The Washington State Orthopedic Association is a non-profit corporation founded in 1979 to provide socioeconomic and political information to our members, policymakers and the public about issues that affect orthopedists' ability to provide timely and top-quality musculoskeletal health care services to patients in all settings.

We seek to unite orthopedic surgeons from around the state in promoting the highest standards in their practice. We will work to educate legislators, policymakers and the public about the effect that political and policy decisions may have on the practice of orthopedics. We will support changes in public policy and law that will enhance our members' ability to provide care to patients with musculoskeletal conditions, and oppose initiatives that hinder our ability to provide care to patients.

We will continue to collaborate with other medical societies, citizens' groups and organizations in joint efforts to educate our members, patients and policymakers, and to enhance the health of citizens of Washington State.
