Lumberton, N.C.-based UNC Health Southeastern has added two orthopedic surgeons to fill care gaps in the region, according to an Aug. 21 report from the Border Belt Independent.
Previously, patients in Lumberton had to travel out of the county to receive orthopedic treatments.
Orthopedic surgeons James Slauterbeck, MD, and Temitope Adebayo, MD, joined the system to help create a high-quality orthopedics center in a rural setting, according to the report.
Dr. Slauterbeck has decades of experience working at medical schools across the country, and Dr. Adebayo recently completed a fellowship at Duke University in Durham, N.C.
